Know before you buy
This piece is handcrafted in Bavaria using traditional German paper mache techniques. It is pressed into an original antique mold, which gives it its distinct, vintage-inspired silhouette.
Because each Santa is hand-painted and finished with individual glitter and bead applications, there will be slight variations between pieces. This ensures that every collectible is unique.
Every genuine Ino Schaller figure features a signature stamp on the bottom. This mark serves as your guarantee of its origin and craftsmanship.
The Santa measures approximately 3.25 inches wide, 3.25 inches deep, and 7 inches tall. Its compact size makes it well-suited for mantels, bookshelves, or holiday tabletops.
To preserve the hand-painted finish and delicate beadwork, dust the figure gently with a soft, dry brush. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain the integrity of the paper mache material.
