Hand-Painted Vintage Santa Ceramic Ornament

Add classic mid-century holiday charm to your tree with this hand-painted ceramic Santa ornament by Chicago artist Heather Gentile Collins.

Inspired by nostalgic vintage holiday illustrations, each ornament features a whimsical, expressive Santa face complete with rosy cheeks, side-glancing eyes, a painterly textured beard, and a holly-accented red stocking cap. Painted by hand directly onto smooth glazed white ceramic, these pieces showcase dimensional brushwork and festive polka-dot highlights that bring each portrait to life. Each ornament is strung on a red-and-white striped baker’s twine and trimmed with striped grosgrain ribbon, ready to hang straight away.

Ready for Gifting: Each ornament comes beautifully packaged in its own individual gift box, making it an effortless, keepsake-ready gift for teachers, hostesses, ornament exchanges, or secret Santas.

Because each piece is hand-painted, subtle variations in facial expression and brushstrokes give every Santa his own distinct personality.
