Bring a little nostalgic Christmas charm to your holiday decorating with this adorable vintage Santa and Mrs. Claus ceramic bell set, believed to date to the 1950s–1960s.
Full of kitschy mid-century character, these cheerful holiday bells feature hand-painted details, rosy cheeks, and whimsical expressions. Mrs. Claus wears her signature wire-rimmed glasses, carries a sprig of holly, and sports a green-and-white striped apron. Santa is dressed in his traditional red suit with a fluffy white beard. Both feature the charming “Merry X’Mas” greeting across their attire.
Designed to be displayed as tabletop decorations or hung as Christmas ornaments using their attached green ribbons, this sweet pair would look wonderful nestled into a vintage Christmas vignette, displayed on a holiday hutch, or hanging from a tree.
