A Victorian Santa in a fur-trimmed red coat, toy basket in hand — no red sack in sight.
Maker: Potpourri Press (design by Wim Schimmer)
Materials: Metal tin
Dimensions: 5.25" tall, 4.75" diameter
Origin: USA
Era: Vintage, 1986
Condition: Vintage, used, very good condition — a couple of very minor, barely noticeable dings on the lid; no chips or scratches; now empty. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
Signed by artist Wim Schimmer, this design also appeared on a set of Potpourri Press coasters issued in 1986, which helps date the tin to that year. Originally used for Nabisco pretzels, the tin's textured surface and warm Victorian scene have made it a favorite among tin collectors.
A charming find for the holidays, and a lovely gift for the tin collector or anyone who loves an old-fashioned Santa.
Potpourri Press regularly commissioned outside illustrators like Wim Schimmer for its seasonal tinware, a practice that gives many of its pieces genuine artist provenance.
