There’s something quietly enchanting about this mid-century treasure — a handcrafted nod to the golden age of Christmas decor.
This Vintage Sleeping Santa Claus Cookie Jar, attributed to Alberta’s Molds circa 1950s, captures a rare, whimsical moment of Santa at rest. Measuring approximately 8 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 5 inches tall, this ceramic piece doubles as both a festive candy dish and a nostalgic decorative collectible.
Santa rests peacefully beneath a textured blue blanket with a golden patch, his rosy face framed by a snow-white beard and cozy pillow accented in red and ivory. The bed’s sculpted skirt and hand-painted shading bring a warm, homespun authenticity to its vintage charm. The lid lifts to reveal a spacious compartment inside — perfect for cookies, sweets, or small keepsakes.
A charming reflection of 1950s American craftsmanship, this cookie jar blends storybook innocence with holiday nostalgia, making it an ideal gift for collectors, decorators, or anyone seeking that mid-century holiday magic.
