Medium Vintage Scandinavian Nisse / Tomte / Julenisse Figurine, 1950s – Blue Coat Edition

This medium-sized Baking Nisse figurine captures the spirit of traditional Scandinavian Christmas, blending mid-century charm with classic Nordic folklore. Produced in the 1950s–60s, this delightful julefigur portrays a cheerful nisse — known as a tomte in Sweden and a julenisse in Norway — stirring a bowl of holiday pudding.

Wearing a deep blue winter coat and the signature red nisselue/tomteluva, he embodies the generosity and mischief of the mythical household spirit said to watch over farms and families across Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. The decorated pudding bowl nods to the cherished tradition of serving risengrød or julegröt to keep one’s nisse happy during jul.

With its hand-painted finish and snowy base, this figurine is perfect for collectors of Scandinavian julepynt, lovers of vintage Nordic décor, or anyone wishing to add a touch of skandinavisk jul to their home. A charming companion to the larger green-coat version.
