Royal Copenhagen Annual Santa 2016 with hare and lantern

Royal Copenhagen Annual Santa 2016 is an atmospheric Christmas figure that brings together several of Christmas's classic elements in one motif. Here stands Santa in his red suit with a golden lantern in his hand, a blue gift under his arm and a small snow-covered Christmas tree by his side. In front of the tree sits a hare, which gives the figure a calm touch of winter forest and Danish Christmas storytelling.

The design was created by Sven Vestergaard, and the figure belongs to the popular Annual Santa series from Royal Copenhagen. The series began in 2001, and since then a new Santa has been released every year. From 2021 onwards, a Mrs. Santa has also been added to the collection. This has made the series especially interesting for collectors, and there is great demand for these Royal Copenhagen Christmas figures.

The 2016 edition in particular stands out with its fine interplay between Santa, the warm lantern, the blue gift and the little hare by the snow-covered fir tree. The colours and details give the figure a lively expression that fits beautifully into the Christmas decorations, on a shelf, in a display cabinet collection or as part of a larger arrangement with other figures from the same series. It also works really well on its own as a little Christmas story in porcelain.

For collectors of the Annual Santa series, this figure is an obvious addition, whether you are missing precisely 2016 in the line or wish to expand an existing collection. At the same time, it is a decorative Christmas figure with history and character, which can be brought out year after year. Older Christmas figures like this are also a cozy way to pass on quality design and let fine craftsmanship live on in new homes.
