Nah, that's Santa, delivering a lump of coal!  His suit's at the cleaners, and he borrowed Rudolph's nose.

Fabulous figurine!  He's even got waders!

Probably a Brychta item, though not necessarily made by him, but typical of Zelezny Brod production.

Ladislav Brychta was a professor at the Zelezny Brod glass school. My understanding is that it's not possible to distinguish works actually made by him from those of his students.
It's certainly in a style associated with him, especially the face but there were others working in this field. There is a whole series of figures in their work uniform. Most often seen is the dentist. I'm fairly sure there's a doctor also but these are in opaque colours unlike yours.
Use search to find more background on Brychta in previous discussions.
