Know before you buy
The snowman is designed as a traditional candy container, typically featuring a hidden seam where the figurine separates to reveal a hollow interior for storing small treats.
Because the glitter is applied by hand as part of the decorative finish, some minor shedding is normal during initial handling. We recommend displaying it in a stable location to maintain the integrity of the hand-painted details.
Yes, at 13.5 inches tall, it makes a substantial centerpiece. Please note that it is intended for indoor use only and should be kept away from direct heat sources or moisture to protect the paper mache construction.
These are limited-production collectibles crafted in Bavaria using original antique molds. Each piece is individually hand-painted and signed by the artisan, ensuring that no two snowmen are exactly alike.
Due to the delicate paper mache material and glitter finish, you should avoid using water or cleaning agents. Use a soft, dry brush or a gentle puff of air to remove dust from the crevices.
