Medium Mrs. Santa or Rosy-Cheeked Santa Mug with Holly (approx. 3.5 inches tall): Featuring long painted lashes, a yellowed complexion, and a holly-trimmed white hat, this sweet mug has serious mid-century charm.

Mini Santa Shot Mug No. 1 (approx. 1.75 inches tall): Teeny tiny and absolutely irresistible, this miniature Santa face mug is marked Japan on the base with an original hand-written 10-cent price tag still intact. The rosy pink complexion and bold red hat brim make this a rare and collectible find. Perfect for a shadow box or miniature holiday vignette.

Mini Santa Shot Mug No. 2 (approx. 1.75 inches tall): The twin to the first mini, this little guy also carries a Japan mark and original 10-cent price tag on base. Slight variation in the facial painting gives him a distinct winking character all his own. Two for the price of one holiday miracle.
