Know before you buy
No, this container is not food-safe. We recommend using it only for individually wrapped candies or as a decorative accent.
Because it is made of paper mache and is not dishwasher safe, you should only clean it by gently dusting it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as they can damage the material and the hand-painted finish.
No, this mushroom house design does not include a lid. It is an open-top container intended for display or holding wrapped sweets.
Each container is meticulously hand-painted, so you should expect slight variations in color and detail. These small differences are part of the artisanal charm and ensure that your piece is unique.
No, this item is not designed to be stackable. Its novelty shape and paper mache construction are best suited for standalone display on a shelf or tabletop.
