Know before you buy
The snowman is designed with a removable section, typically at the waist or base, that allows you to lift the top portion to reveal the hollow interior for storing small candies.
While the glitter is applied as part of the hand-painting process, some minor shedding is common with traditional paper mache ornaments. We recommend handling it gently to preserve the finish.
No, this piece is intended for indoor use only. The paper mache material is not weather-resistant and should be kept away from moisture and direct outdoor elements.
Each genuine Ino Schaller container is signed and stamped by the manufacturer. You can find these markings on the piece to confirm its origin and craftsmanship from Bavaria, Germany.
Use a soft, dry cloth or a gentle dusting brush to remove any accumulated dust. Avoid using water or liquid cleaning agents, as they can damage the paper mache and the hand-painted finish.
