Vintage 1950s Japan Spaghetti Trim Santa and Mrs. Claus Salt and Pepper Shakers, Mid-Century Christmas

A darling mid-century pair straight from a 1950s Christmas. Santa points skyward with one turquoise mitten and holds a gift sprig of holly, while a blushing Mrs. Claus giggles behind her hand. Both feature the beloved spaghetti trim — delicate applied ceramic threads highlighted in gold — on Santa's hat and coat hem and along Mrs. Claus's apron.

Classic mid-century Japanese details throughout: closed-eye sweetheart faces, rosy cheeks, turquoise mittens and holly, and gold-line accents on the apron.
