Vintage Ceramic Byron Mold Handpainted Snowman Figure. Measures about 11" in height. Good condition. Missing some plastic dot pegs and has a couple chips.
Bring home a piece of holiday history with this vintage Byron Mold handpainted snowman. Measuring approximately 11" in height, this medium-sized figure is a wonderful example of the "hobbyist" ceramics that were popular in the 1970s and 1980s. The snowman is depicted with a jolly expression, blonde hair peeking from beneath a tall black top hat, and a vibrant red scarf that adds a bold pop of color to any mantel or entryway.
Crafted from a classic slip-cast mold, this piece was personally painted by a hobbyist, making it a unique one-of-a-kind treasure. The body features decorative star-shaped and circular perforations that were designed to hold translucent plastic "light pegs," similar to those found on ceramic Christmas trees. While missing some of its original pegs, it remains a charming standalone figurine or could be restored to its full lighted glory with replacement pegs. It makes a thoughtful gift for collectors of vintage Christmas ceramics or anyone looking to add a touch of handmade charm to their winter scene.
This item is vintage, over 45 years old. While it appears to be in the good condition stated, please note that it is missing some plastic dot pegs and has a couple of minor chips consistent with its age. There is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending it.
