50s vintage Santa Claus painted ceramic greeting card letter holder Josef Originals

Mid-century vintage Japan hand painted ceramic Merry Christmas Santa from Josef Originals - adorable! this We think this might be a letter rack to hold your holiday mail, but it might be a paper napkin holder? Entire piece measures about 5" tall.

This has a little fine glaze crazing, but aside from that, looks excellent. Paint has no wear, the china has no chips or cracks.
