Description: Vintage Putz Cardboard Christmas Village House 140s made in Japan I grew up enjoying our collection of Christmas village houses made of cardboard that were called Putz houses, from the German word putzen that means both 'to clean." and can also mean "to decorate". This sweet green house is the last remaining house in the collection. Measuring 3 inches in length, 4 inches in height, and 6 inches in width, this small rectangular house is still perfect for a Christmas display. The house features glittery snow on the roof and yard, hand-painted details, and a hole in the back for a Christmas bulb. Putz houses were first sold in Europe, but during the 1930s and 1940s war years, designers found Japanese artisans who could keep on producing them, and many homes in the United States enjoyed these charming houses.It is perfect for collectors of seasonal and holiday-themed items, and is sure to be a treasured addition to your collection. If you were a child in the 1940s or 1950s, the way I was, you'll enjoy sharing this charming cardboard Christmas house with the children in your life, to show them how Christmas villages were when you were young.
