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.

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.
