Know before you buy
Each genuine Ino Schaller candy container features a signature stamp on the bottom. This mark serves as your verification of its artisanal origin in Bavaria, Germany.
It is designed for both. The paper mache construction includes a hollow interior suitable for holding small treats, though many collectors prefer to display it as a standalone holiday figurine.
The glitter is applied as part of the hand-painting process to enhance the Starry Night design. While it is securely attached, you may notice minor loose particles during initial handling, which is typical for artisanal glittered items.
Because it is made of paper mache and hand-painted, you should avoid using water or chemical cleaners. If it becomes dusty, gently use a soft, dry cloth or a clean, soft-bristled brush to preserve the finish.
No, these are limited production collectibles. Each piece is handcrafted using original antique molds, meaning there are slight variations in the painting and finish that make every Santa unique.
