Vintage SANTA CLAUS with TOY BAG Atlantic Mold GREAT EXPRESSION Christmas Decor

  
Ceramic Santa Clause Vintage Atlantic Mold Statue Christmas Decor. And, what about this expression?

He is gazing upward and his toy bag is wide open. Also, his tongue is sticking out.

What a super fun and quirky yesteryear, kitschy item. Circa 60's / 70's. To reiterate, the eyes on this particular Santa mold are painted very, very nicely!

I have seen other ones, but I just love the expression of the eyes in conjunction with the tongue. The painter of this mold did a wonderful job with the detailing. There is an outlining around the eyes in black with eyelashes and there are even catch lights in his brown eyes! The gray toy box / planter / or candy jar, has a hole in the bottom.

You could cover the hole to put candy inside, or set it on something and use it as a planter. I'm not sure if it would last or not doing that. It is unglazed ceramic inside. 4" - 4 1/2" deep. Does have some soiling, light rubbing / paint chipping and a thin pen mark along one side of the nose as well as across one of the buttons may be able to come out... It lightened when I wiped the area, and dusty?? Has normal shelf wear for an item of this vintage. Please check all of the images and you will see what I mean. I don't think anything is glaring or objectionable. I have taken several images. If you would like any more images or have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
