Know before you buy
Yes, it is designed as a traditional candy container. The figure features a hollow interior that can be opened to store small treats or holiday sweets.
Each figure is signed and stamped with the official maker's mark. These markings serve as verification of its origin and authenticity as a genuine Ino Schaller collectible.
These pieces are handcrafted in Bavaria, Germany, using original antique molds. The artisans use traditional paper mache techniques, followed by hand-painting and the application of glitter and bead accents.
No, this item is intended for indoor use only. The paper mache material and delicate hand-painted finish are not weather-resistant and should be kept in a dry, climate-controlled environment.
Because the figure is hand-painted and finished with delicate glitter, it should be dusted very gently with a soft, dry brush or a microfiber cloth. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the finish and the paper mache structure.
