Know before you buy
While Bartholomew is designed to showcase appetizers or desserts, he is a decorative figurine. We recommend using a food-safe tray or plate on top of his serving surface rather than placing food directly onto the finish.
Bartholomew is intended for indoor use only. The hand-painted finish and delicate details like feathers and jewels are not weather-resistant and should be kept away from moisture and direct sunlight.
The figurine weighs 7.7 pounds and stands on a sturdy decorative welcome mat, providing a stable base for light items. However, it is best suited for lightweight decorative displays rather than heavy serving platters.
To keep the figurine in top condition, simply dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the hand-painted details and jeweled accents.
No, Bartholomew is an artisan-made, limited-edition piece from the Katherine's Collection Macabre Family line. Each unit is hand-painted, meaning there may be slight variations that make your specific figurine unique.
