1940s Handblown European Santa Claus Glass Ornament Set

This auction offers a group of five handblown figural Christmas ornaments, each representing a unique depiction of Santa Claus. Made between the 1940s and 1950s, these glass ornaments feature painted details, internal silvering, and applied mica trim. Their designs include both classic red-suited Santas and a rounder stylized version in gold and white tones. The hanging mechanisms are formed from original metal wire, indicative of the production period. Though unmarked, the style and construction are consistent with mid-century West German and Czechoslovakian glass exports made for Western holiday markets. These ornaments reflect the craftsmanship typical of Lauscha-style production, well-known for its role in revitalizing post-war Christmas decoration exports.
