Know before you buy
These traditional Ino Schaller figures are typically designed with a removable section, usually at the waist or base, allowing you to place small candies or treats inside the hollow paper mache body.
No, this item is intended for indoor use only. Because it is crafted from traditional paper mache, it is susceptible to damage from moisture, humidity, and direct sunlight.
While the product specifications note a hanging mounting type, these figures are often displayed on mantels or tabletops. If you intend to hang it, ensure you use a secure, lightweight hook appropriate for the weight of the paper mache.
To preserve the finish, simply dust the figure gently with a soft, dry cloth or a clean, soft-bristled brush. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the painted surface.
Ino Schaller pieces are handcrafted in Germany using traditional paper mache techniques that have been passed down through generations. Because they are handmade, each piece may feature slight variations that contribute to its unique, vintage-style character.
