Know before you buy
This piece is handcrafted in Bavaria using traditional paper mache techniques and an authentic antique mold. Each figure is then meticulously hand-painted and finished with decorative beads and glitter.
Every container is individually signed and stamped by the artisan. These markings serve as a guarantee of its genuine origin and craftsmanship.
While it is designed as a candy container, it is primarily a decorative collectible. If you choose to use it for treats, we recommend using wrapped candies to protect the interior paper mache surface.
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor holiday display. Exposure to moisture or extreme temperature changes could damage the paper mache material and delicate hand-painted finish.
Because of the delicate glitter and bead embellishments, we recommend using a soft, dry brush or a gentle puff of compressed air to remove dust. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the finish.
