Ceramic Vintage Waving Hand Painted Santa Figurine

This little sweetie came in a lot I received from a family member. He has two shelf sitters that coordinate with him that are listed separately. (See pic #7.) I wasn’t able to find any of the three listed anywhere else. Santa is in good condition with only mild paint loss. Approximately 3” tall and unmarked, although I believe he was likely made in Japan circa 1950’s. (One of the coordinating shelf sitters still retains its original JAPAN sticker.) Vintage Santa Claus mugs sold in a separate listing!
