Antique German Glass Christmas Ornament Flesh Face Santa with Drum Doll Toys 1940s
This is a harder to find uncommon German glass Santa with a dark face, circa later 1940s. This ornament is known by several similar names: Santa with a Doll and Drum, Santa with Drum and Toy, and Santa with a Bag and Toys.
He is simply wonderful, full of nicely molded details. His blown glass body features lacquer paint over a silvered body. He has a rare hand painted dark flesh face with a full bushy white beard. This version is quite rare.
He wears his reddish-brown suit and has molded black boots and a sack sits over his right shoulder. Toys are attached to his belt in front, a drum and a doll. He measures 3.5 inches tall and is topped with an original Lauscha style metal cap. It is in excellent antique condition free of chips or cracks, just a bit of minimal paint loss and crazing to the brown lacquer. (This color of lacquer helps to date this to the post war later 1940s.)
