About the Item
This early 20th-century German Santa Claus candy container is a wonderful example of traditional Christmas folk art. Made of composition, cardboard, and wood, the figure includes a wire-and-paper Christmas tree and displays beautiful vintage surface character throughout.
In Santa’s left hand are three lace sacks filled with miniature wooden penny putz toys, an especially charming and unusual detail that emphasizes its German folk craftsmanship and adds to its rarity and visual appeal.
The piece is marked “Germany” on the base and inside, confirming authentic period German manufacture. Its original finish and untouched condition contribute to its charm and collectible value.
A distinctive Santa Claus form, this container embodies the nostalgic craftsmanship of German holiday traditions and makes a warm addition to any antique Christmas collection.
