Vintage 1958 Holt Howard Starry Eyed Santa Divided Candy Dish Nut Tray MCM Japan Christmas

Feast your eyes on this rare and oh-so-charming 1958 Holt Howard Starry Eyed Santa divided candy or nut dish—a mid-century marvel straight from Santa’s workshop! With his twinkling gold star-pupiled eyes, rosy cheeks, and signature fluffy beard forming the tray, this piece is practically winking at you with vintage cheer.

The edge of Santa’s beard is trimmed in festive green, and the whole piece gleams with a rich, glossy glaze in classic Holt Howard style. Measuring approximately 6.5” x 6”, it’s the perfect size for holiday treats, shiny baubles, or tiny treasures.

In very merry vintage condition—just a couple of wee glaze pops on his hat and cheek, and a tiny ding on the rim (view photo 8), but no chips or cracks. Marked © 1958 Holt Howard on the base.

Whether you’re a longtime Holt Howard collector or just a lover of kitschy Christmas cuteness, this magical little dish is a holly-jolly treasure you’ll adore!
