Know before you buy
Ino Schaller uses traditional German paper mache techniques, which involve molding layers of paper pulp into intricate forms. This method is prized for its lightweight feel and historical authenticity, distinguishing these pieces from mass-produced resin or plastic holiday decor.
Because the beading is delicate, you should avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive cloths. Use a soft, dry brush or a gentle puff of air to remove dust from the crevices and beaded surfaces.
While these are designed as functional candy containers with a removable section, most collectors treat them as decorative display items. If you do use it for treats, ensure they are individually wrapped to protect the interior paper mache from oils or moisture.
Authentic Ino Schaller pieces are handcrafted in Germany and typically feature the brand's signature mark or label. You should look for the specific craftsmanship details, such as the hand-painted features and the quality of the fur trim, which are hallmarks of their workshop.
To keep the fur cap looking its best, store the piece in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Using a breathable storage container will help prevent dust accumulation and protect the texture of the fur during the off-season.
