It just couldn’t be much cuter—Department 56 did an extraordinary job with this Santa tea set. Lots of detail—look at the handle, it’s adorned with sleigh bells and Santa has a sleigh bell for the pom pom on his hat—which is the lid for the teapot.

Santa appears to be getting ready for the day or perhaps his Christmas Eve deliveries…smoking a pipe and drinking a cup o’ jo. The coffee cup even has coffee in it.

I’m guessing this is from the 80s. The paint is not going to come off like midcentury Santa mugs, so you could actually use this for a family dinner or high tea with little girls. Or big girls for that matter:)

I have four of these sets available.
New old stock—no chips cracks repairs or paint loss. Has a Department 56 sticker and it’s also pressed into the ceramic.
