About the Item

Early 20th Century German Belsnickle / Santa Claus Candy Container, Paper Mâché, wood Cardboard This beautiful German Belsnickle / Santa Claus candy container dates to the early 20th century, likely produced in the 1910s–1920s, prior to World War II or I. Crafted of paper mâché and cardboard, is hand-painted and features a paper made fir sprig held in one hand—an endearing Old World detail characteristic of German folk Christmas traditions. The piece shows scattered wear consistent with age, enhancing its vintage charm and authenticity. This original period container embodies the nostalgic holiday craftsmanship for which German Christmas décor is renowned. A wonderful addition to any antique Christmas collection or festive interior, especially for admirers of early Santa figures, Belsnickle forms, and Old World Christmas décor.
