Vintage Christmas Putz House Village with snowman and decorated tree retro midcentury
(1)
My favorite feature of this putz house is its color—soft, stunning periwinkle blue. It’s roof is unusual—forest green roof and the house and base are covered with heavy, coconut like mica. The front door is colorful and detailed...and it’s there. Most are not.
This putz house is very sturdy, sturdier than most made in the 60s...plus it has heavier mica and simply better craftsmanship than mist made post 1950x I would guesstimate this little house dates back to mid 40s to mid 50s. Could be earlier.
Unfortunately, this cute little house didn’t have any trees or a fence. I thought it’s good bones needed to be shown off but I also wanted to keep embellishment pretty low key because I wanted to keep the fabulousity if this little house front and center.
I added two sisal, bottlebrush trees that I
bleached to give them a vintage look and a fabulous, pale turquoise color. The smaller tree was decorated with teeny metallic beads to look like mercury glass ornaments. And then I added a really really tiny snowman. The snowman is vintage, the trees and bead ornaments are new.
The wax paper door and cellophane window are both intact. There is a dent in the opening for a light bulb in back and one corner of the base is missing some mica. The white mica is now ecru courtesy of time.
The base measures 4 1/2” x 2” and the house and base together are about 4” tall.
