The Artistry
The 4 1/4 inch chalkware lamb is cast from a rare antique chocolate mold by the legendary Anton Reiche of Dresden, Germany. Because it was cast from a Reiche mold, the detail in the "fur" is incredibly fine and realistic, a hallmark of the Dresden master mold-makers.The lamb is standing in a meadow of blue forget-me-not flowers, symbolizing true love, remembrance, and enduring devotion. Each lamb is individually hand-painted and carefully antiqued to achieve the soft, storied patina of a 19th-century treasure.
Product Details:
Anton Reiche molds are often considered the "Rolls Royce" of antique chocolate molds due to their lifelike textures. By casting these in chalkware, I am able to preserve that historic detail for modern collectors. Each piece is hand-cast, signed, numbered, and dated on the bottom.
