authentic vintage example of “Icy the Icicle Man,” the whimsical mid century character designed by George Fusek and introduced in 1962. This sculptural icicle figure features painted facial details including the signature red nose and expressive eyes, with a lively, animated stance that gives the piece its charm and personality.
Icy the Icicle Man was originally produced as a novelty Christmas ornament and is now highly collectible among fans of mid century holiday design and Fusek’s work. The form captures a sense of motion and humor that sets it apart from more traditional ornament designs of the era.
The wooden base and red plaque currently accompanying the figure are not original to the ornament and were added later as a decorative presentation. The icicle figure itself is not glued, fastened, or permanently attached to the base and can be easily lifted off and removed without tools or damage. The base should be considered a non original display accessory only.
Condition is very good vintage condition. The figure shows no cracks or breaks and retains strong clarity with light surface wear consistent with age. Minor surface marks are typical for vintage examples.
A desirable piece for collectors of George Fusek designs, mid century Christmas ornaments, lucite figures, and unusual vintage display objects.
