A mid-century Japanese import, these felt pixie elves were made to slip right over a Christmas light bulb, glowing softly from within.
Maker: Unmarked
Materials: Felt, celluloid, metal (jingle bells)
Dimensions: Approx. 3.5" tall
Origin: Japan
Era: Vintage, 1950s
Condition: Good vintage condition — some fading to the green felt, with light staining consistent with age. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
Each has a hand-painted celluloid face, a jingle bell at the collar, and a gold cord for hanging if you'd rather display them on their own.
A playful, glowing touch for a vintage-lit tree, or a fun gift for someone who collects mid-century Japanese kitsch. Sold individually; choose your color above.
Light-cover ornaments like these were a clever mid-century solution for dressing up strings of bulb lights before LED and novelty lighting existed. Felt and celluloid figures made specifically to fit over a bulb are less commonly found today than standalone hanging ornaments from the same era.
