Know before you buy
The figurine is designed with a traditional paper mache construction that typically separates at the waist, allowing you to place small treats or trinkets inside the hollow body.
No, this piece is intended for indoor use only. Because it is crafted from traditional paper mache, it should be kept away from moisture and direct outdoor elements to preserve the integrity of the materials and the hand-painted finish.
Each Mr. Chipper figurine is signed and stamped by the manufacturer to guarantee its authenticity. These marks confirm it was produced in Bavaria using the company's original antique molds.
While the glitter is applied as part of the meticulous hand-painting process, some minor shedding is common with decorative items featuring this type of finish. We recommend handling the piece gently by the base to maintain its appearance.
The snowman comes with its original gift box, which is the ideal storage solution. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paper mache from softening or the colors from fading over time.
