I can not find anything close to them.
Would they be considered Old World Santa Figures or Father Christmas?
They are 9 1/2" tall and have no markings and one santa is holding a pipe and the other holding a candle.
Look like made out of ceramic so maybe home made?
They are definetly old with lots of crazing to the finish and possibly made out of the US.
Thanks Much for any help, Cody

What you have are two Raku-fired Santas. Possibly made by an artist. They do look like they are free-form and not made with a mold. They do have an “old” look to them, but they were probably made fairly recently.

Thank You Fallonthalia, did some research on Raku-fired that I was not familiar with and that sure does explain the crazing old look.

- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
