Rare Christopher Radko 7 St Paddy Claus with box & tags, made in Poland ca 2006
This beautifully crafted Santa is a rare find! St Paddy Claus is beautifully dressed (and decorated) in a white and gold under robe that is adorned with gold shamrocks, with an emerald green overcoat. He carries a royal purple bag on his back, filled with gifts, and carries a gold staff as well. It has an incredible amount of detail, including painting the soles of his shoes on the bottom of the ornament. Truly a gorgeous ornament. This Radko ornament was made in Poland which, along with Germany, is known for their blown glass ornaments and overall quality. It is a larger ornament, measuring approximately 7 to the top of the cap (not including the finial/loop). It is in excellent condition. I saw no chips, cracks, repairs, or loss of paint. He still has the original paper tag, the Radko metal tag attached to the finial/loop and it comes with the Radko box. The previous owner did write the ornament name on the inside of the lid for re-packing purposes, and the box has small amounts of wear from storage, as seen in the last photo. Please do use photos for condition reference, and as part of the overall item description. I hope you will love the item you receive as much as I loved it when I found it – they are all things that found a place in my vintage loving heart. Because many of my items are vintage or antique, they will not all be perfect. I point out aging issues or potential flaws that I detect, and supplement with pictures. I WILL WORK HARD TO EARN YOUR TRUST. I ALWAYS APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK AND COMMUNICATION.
