This is a handmade ceramic bisque Santa bust, 17 by 10 inches, made by a small Alabama studio. Bisque is unglazed fired clay, so the surface is matte and porous and takes paint well if you want to finish it yourself. At that size it works as a mantel or entryway piece rather than a shelf ornament. Buyers rate the quality highly and say it arrives well packed. Its appeal is the hand-built, one-of-a-kind look; a mass-market resin Santa will be cheaper and lighter but won't have the same texture.
