Description
Pair Of vintage MCM Japanese Ceramic Santa Claus Figures Candle Hugger NORCREST. A pair of vintage, mid-century Japanese ceramic Santa Claus figurines, identified by their blue Norcrest foil labels on the base, are designed to function as candle huggers. Produced during the mid-20th century, likely between the 1950s and 1960s, each Santa features a winking expression and is sculpted in a seated posture with arms extended, allowing them to grip the sides of standard taper candles. The figurines show visible paint wear on various points of contact, and a small chip on one green mitten, reflecting their age and use. Despite this wear, the pieces retain their original manufacturer marks and remain functional for seasonal decor.
