Know before you buy
The Santa figure is designed as a traditional candy container, meaning the piece separates, typically at the waist, to allow you to place small treats or trinkets inside.
While it is functional as a candy container, it is primarily a collectible piece of art. Due to the delicate hand-painted finish and paper mache construction, it is best suited for seasonal display rather than frequent handling.
Each figurine is individually signed and stamped by the maker. These markings serve as your guarantee of authenticity and confirm that the item was produced in the Ino Schaller workshop in Bavaria.
The bead accents are carefully applied by hand as part of the decorative finish. While they are securely attached, they should be handled with care to maintain the integrity of the design.
To preserve the hand-painted details and beadwork, use only a soft, dry cloth or a gentle dusting brush. Avoid using water, cleaning agents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the paper mache surface.
