Know before you buy
This piece is crafted from traditional paper mache, consistent with the authentic German manufacturing techniques used by Ino Schaller.
Standing at 9 inches tall, it is designed for small treats like wrapped chocolates or candies. It is best suited for light, dry items rather than heavy or liquid-filled sweets.
While it is a functional candy container, it is primarily a decorative collectible. Due to the delicate nature of paper mache and its status as a piece of traditional folk art, it is better suited for display than for active play.
Yes, this specific model includes switches and a small bag of coal, which are traditional elements associated with the Krampus folklore figure.
Keep the figure in a dry, dust-free environment. If necessary, use a soft, dry cloth or a gentle dusting brush to clean the surface; avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as they can damage the paper mache material.
