Vintage Snowman Glass & Ceramic Christmas Tea Light Candle Holder 7"
This vintage snowman tea light candle holder blends hand-painted ceramic with clear glass, creating a festive centerpiece full of charm and nostalgia. The snowman wears a striped scarf and a black top hat while holding a bright red cardinal, a common Christmas symbol of warmth and remembrance. At the base, sculpted details include a swan, a white cat, a birdhouse, and seasonal greenery, adding whimsical character to this collectible piece.
Designed to hold a tea light or votive, the glass insert allows candlelight to glow softly through cut-out star accents in the snowman’s ceramic topper. Produced in the late 20th century, likely during the 1980s or 1990s, this piece reflects the playful, decorative holiday designs that were popular in that era. Whether displayed on a mantel, dining table, or as part of a Christmas vignette, it brings both functional use and vintage holiday appeal.
Collectors of Christmas décor and snowman-themed items will appreciate the craftsmanship, colorful glaze, and nostalgic aesthetic that make this tea light holder a festive addition to seasonal collections.
