Vintage Ceramic Santa Nisse Candle Holder with Cardinal, Scandinavian

A cheerful ceramic Santa (nisse) in a bright red suit, blue mittens, and glossy glaze, holding a little red cardinal. He stands on a snowy white base with a built-in holder for a slim taper candle. Sweet folk-art details and a mid-century feel make this a charming accent for a mantel, windowsill, or holiday table. Vintage condition with gentle wear consistent with age.
