1980s Crochet Dressed Plastic Santa and Mrs. Claus Dolls
$54.00
Vintage Handmade Mr and Mrs Claus Dolls. Full plastic dolls, hand crocheted clothes. They measure about 14" in height. Very good condition.
This endearing pair of Mr. and Mrs. Claus dolls captures the essence of 1980s holiday crafting, where classic plastic doll forms were given a cozy, handmade makeover. Unlike simple figurines, these are complete plastic dolls dressed in full, hand-crocheted attire that provides a wonderful weight and texture to their silhouette. The deep burgundy yarn offers a sophisticated alternative to bright red, lending a more traditional Country and Farmhouse feel to the set. Santa is outfitted in a long robe with a heavy cream-colored looped trim that mimics thick sheepskin, while Mrs. Claus is equally prepared for the North Pole in a ruffled cream apron and a matching bonnet.
Standing 14 inches tall, these dolls have a sturdy presence, making them ideal for a tabletop display or a festive shelf arrangement. Their vinyl faces feature bright blue eyes and cheerful expressions, framed by soft white curls and intricate needlework. Small details, like the dark green holly leaves and tiny golden bells, add a whimsical touch to their winter wardrobe. These dolls are a perfect example of how vintage craft kits allowed for unique, personalized holiday decor that stood the test of time. Position them together on a sideboard or use them to anchor a larger Yuletide scene to bring a sense of handmade history into your home this season.
