Know before you buy
This is a new production piece handcrafted in Bavaria using original antique molds. While it is not an antique itself, it is made using traditional methods and authentic molds to replicate the look and feel of historical German paper mache.
Yes, the figurine is designed as a functional candy container. The paper mache construction is hollow, allowing you to store small treats inside for holiday display.
Because this piece is hand-painted and finished with glitter, it should be kept away from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use a soft, dry brush to gently dust the surface, and store it in a cool, dry place wrapped in acid-free tissue paper.
As with most glitter-adorned decor, some minor shedding is normal during handling. However, the high-quality craftsmanship ensures the glitter is securely applied to the paper mache surface.
Every genuine Ino Schaller piece is marked with a signature and a stamp on the bottom. These markings serve as your guarantee of authenticity and confirm the item was produced in their German workshop.
