This offer is for a folk art Old World style Santa Claus (or father Christmas) painted chalkware figure. Item measures 8¾" tall.  I crafted this back in 2009 and rediscovered it along with a few others while disposing of my mother's estate.  Somehow they got gathered together with her other holiday craft items back when she attended craft fairs and I failed to retrieve them sooner.  He is signed and dated.  I called this one Forester Santa due to his hunter green coat with brown trim.  There is an Alpine flower inspired design on the lower portion of coat and matching pattern on hat.  The base is covered in "ice" crystals to give it a new fallen snow appearance.  This was one of my early pieces as I embedded a (then new) shiny penny into the still hardening plaster.  Made from a vintage metal chocolate mold I still possess. I am not likely to make new pieces any time soon (at least until I can clear the clutter and can work once again in my workshop).  This will be a treasured addition to your Santa collection. Will also make an awesome gift for that special someone in your life.

Condition is new.
