🎅 FITZ & FLOYD CLASSICS VINTAGE SANTA — FITVISSANTA, BEAR, PRESENTS • FIGURAL TWO-SECTION SERVING SERVERCirca 1994–1996 • RETIRED • HARD TO FIND • PRISTINE CONDITIONA beautifully preserved and hard-to-find Fitz & Floyd Classics Vintage Santa figural serving piece from the discontinued Vintage Santa pattern, FITVIS, identified by Replacements as “Santa, Bear, Presents” and dating to approximately 1994–1996.
This is an especially charming and unusual Fitz & Floyd design, combining an elaborate three-dimensional Santa figure with a functional two-section serving server.
THE DESIGNSanta stands prominently on the left side of the piece, dressed in his richly detailed Christmas attire.
He holds a substantial woodland-style staff in his LEFT hand, with the staff extending upward to form the handle of the server.
In his RIGHT hand, Santa holds an adorable teddy bear wearing a pajama-style nightcap with two distinctive dangling tassels.
The right-hand serving compartment is actually modeled as Santa's large Christmas gift sack. The gathered opening, folds and rope tied around the top are beautifully sculpted into the piece, making the function of the sack immediately recognizable.
The result is a wonderfully imaginative Fitz & Floyd design that is both a serving piece and a three-dimensional Christmas centerpiece.
