Lefton Christmas FigurinesLefton Christmas figurines are one of the most adorable as well as desirable collectible items today. These cute little art pieces can give any collector goose bumps. As they have grown in popularity, they can be found everywhere, available at over 10,000 retail shops across the USA and dozens of specialty shops online. George Zoltan Lefton, a Hungarian immigrant, had a real passion for collecting fine porcelain. Zoltan established a factory in Chicago in 1941 and traveled to Japan in 1945. From Japan he started importing beautiful art pieces as well as utilitarian items made up of porcelain and china. Named as "China King", he added a new dimension to his work by making it affordable to post-war middle class American families. Lefton made a wide variety of pieces, from kitchenware and utilitarian pieces to purely decorative pieces to be displayed in home or office...and the company still continues to do so. To this day the Company is still producing most of its popular collector’s series. In addition to the Christmas collection, Lefton lighthouses are also quite popular. Lefton Christmas figurines are brightly colored, small molded figures that depict animals, birds, babies, girls and boys with a Christmas theme. Some Lefton figurines are hand painted with bright colors. The themes of the small molded figures are very appealing. There's a 3 and ½’ tall rat holding a candy cane with a Santa cap on; a bird sitting on a log on the snow holding a song book in hand says, and many, many others. Most of these collectibles are quite affordable. Of course the rare and antique collectible Lefton figurines would cost more.
