This sculpted Royal Albert Santa gives that familiar ritual a character of its own, a festive serving piece to bring out and enjoy year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in 2009 as part of the \u003cem\u003eChristmas Gifts\u003c\/em\u003e series, the pedestal bowl combines a deep crimson interior with textured snow-white trim and Santa’s face peeking over the treats. His sculpted coat, black boots, green details and gold-coloured belt buckle turn a practical dish into a miniature Christmas scene. Perfect for wrapped chocolates, peppermints or nuts on a festive sideboard, it also sits beautifully among traditional Christmas tableware without needing a matching service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow retired, this design was manufactured in China to Royal Albert’s specifications. The clearly legible base mark reads ©2009 Royal Albert. Offered in excellent condition without its original retail box, it is a charming addition to a collection of the maker’s seasonal figural pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Royal Albert, part of the Waterford Wedgwood Royal Doulton group\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Christmas Gifts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Santa’s Candy Bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 cm tall at the highest point; bowl diameter 16.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 659 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glazed ceramic \/ earthenware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecoration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy crimson and white with sculpted Santa, black boots, green accents and gold gilded belt buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase mark:\u003c\/strong\u003e ©2009 Royal Albert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStatus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Discontinued \/ retired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e One figural pedestal candy bowl; original box not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent condition with a high-gloss glaze.
