Know before you buy
While it is designed as a traditional candy container, it is best used for display or storing small, wrapped treats. Because it is made of paper mache, it is not suitable for direct contact with unwrapped food.
The figurine is designed as a two-piece container. You can gently separate the top and bottom sections to reveal the hollow interior for storage.
The piece is finished with delicate glitter accents. While it is crafted with high-quality materials, some minor shedding is normal for hand-painted glitter items, so handle it with care.
No, this is a tabletop figurine designed to stand on its own. It is not equipped with a hanging loop or string.
Each piece is hand-signed and stamped by the artisan. These markings serve as your guarantee of authenticity and confirm it was crafted in Bavaria using original antique molds.
This item is strictly for indoor use. Paper mache is sensitive to moisture and humidity, which can damage the structure and the hand-painted finish.
