Bittersweet House Folk Art Chalkware German Belsnickle Santa Limited Archive Edition Cat# S586 Click on images for larger view The art of molding plaster of paris into holiday treasures is a centuries-old German tradition. Some molds, however, require a level of patience and skill that transcends traditional craft. Handcrafted by artist Kathryn Campbell of Bittersweet House Folk Art, **S586** represents one of the most complex and detailed designs in our collection. From the intricate facial expressions to the flowing lines of the antique casting, every inch of this piece requires precision brushwork. Of special note: This piece is cast using an exceptionally rare antique German chocolate mold. Due to the extreme level of detail required in the painting and finishing process, this remains one of our most exclusive offerings. Each piece is hand-signed, dated, and numbered.
