Vintage Napco Winking Santa Mug

Adorable 1950s Vintage MCM Napco Winking Santa Mug  A classic whimsical mid-century ceramic mug modeled after the face of a winking Santa Claus.  Produced during the mid-20th century by the National Potteries Company, known as Napco, these iconic Santa mugs became a quintessential staple of American Christmas décor in the 1950s and 1960s. Their playful expressions and charming, hand-painted details have made them highly sought-after treasures for holiday collectors today.  Country of Origin: Japan Time Period: 1950-1959 Materials: Ceramic Dimensions: 2.75”H x 3.5”L x 2.5”W  Condition: The mug shows visible wear including paint loss on the red handle, rim and face, along with minor surface abrasions consistent with age and use. Crazing throughout, a crack next to the winking eye. Though the mug has acquired visible wear throughout the decades, it still has so much character and I think it’s such a great piece to have if you love vintage holiday collectables, especially these Santa Mugs!
