Last but not least, the instant coffee jar. As will most coffee jars of the period, this has a cork lining on the lid to keep it air tight (although the pixies use a rubber ring which tends to dry out and crumble away, the cork is better). This one is cool because it has its original, incredibly flimsy spoon!

Lipper and Mann Santa and Mrs. Claus Creamer and Sugar
Two for one today, the Mrs. Claus creamer (she gets her very own solo gig!) and the Santa sugar jar.

Lipper and Mann Santa and Mrs. Claus Butter Dish
Lipper and Mann Santa and Mrs. Claus Cheese Dish
Next up is Cheese Dish. Not sure what kind of cheese was supposed to go in these, my assumption is some sort of grated Parmesan, but that is just a guess.
I like this one especially because we get to see Mrs. Claus too.

Lipper and Mann Santa Scotch Decanter
As December winds down to a close, I thought I'd post a few of my Santa ceramics from the 1950s. I'll do another series next year. For this year's installment, I'll do the Lipper and Mann Santa condiment jars, starting off with the Scotch decanter and cups.
Much like the Holt Howard pixieware, Lipper and Mann produced a set of tableware for the Christmas season. This scotch decanter is the largest of the set, with its matching set of cups that spell out Noel.
