The unique Silver Blue colorway is a major satisfaction driver, offering a sophisticated alternative to traditional holiday palettes.

Know before you buy
Because this piece features delicate hand-painted details and glitter accents, it should be dusted very gently with a soft, dry brush or a microfiber cloth. Avoid using any water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish and the integrity of the paper mache.
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor use. Paper mache is a porous material that can be damaged by moisture, humidity, or extreme temperature fluctuations found outdoors.
Every authentic Ino Schaller figure is signed and stamped on the bottom. These markings serve as your guarantee that the item was handcrafted in Bavaria using their traditional antique molds.
Standing at approximately 20.25 inches tall, this is a substantial piece that works best as a focal point on a mantel, a large sideboard, or a dedicated holiday tabletop display. It is large enough to stand alone or serve as the centerpiece of a larger festive arrangement.
While the glitter is applied with care, some minor shedding is common with handcrafted decorative items featuring glitter accents. We recommend handling the figure by the base when moving it to minimize contact with the decorated surfaces.
