Know before you buy
The Santa figurine is designed as a traditional candy container, which typically features a removable section—usually the top half of the figure—that allows you to place small treats inside.
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor use. Because it is crafted from paper mache and features delicate hand-painted details and glitter, it should be kept away from moisture and direct sunlight to preserve its condition.
Each authentic Ino Schaller piece is signed and stamped by the artisan on the bottom. These markings serve as confirmation of its heritage and its production in Bavaria, Germany.
While the piece is meticulously crafted, the glitter is a decorative finish applied by hand. It is normal for a small amount of loose glitter to shed during handling, so it is best to display the figurine on a stable surface.
The use of original antique molds is a hallmark of Ino Schaller’s traditional manufacturing process. It ensures that each piece retains the classic, vintage aesthetic and structural integrity of historical German paper mache figurines.
