Yelloware Rabbit & Chick in Redware Egg

The Artistry

A Charming Spring Composition. The R192 features a yelloware rabbit and chick nestled inside a redware egg, hand-cast from a highly detailed antique German chocolate mold. This piece brings together the German tradition of chalkware with the warmth of early American colonial finishes.

The rabbit and chick are finished with signature honey-toned yelloware pigments, while the egg base is hand-painted with an onion skin and redware finish. The exterior of the egg is decorated with a Pennsylvania Dutch sgraffito design featuring traditional birds and tulips. Measuring 5.5 by 4.25 inches, the entire piece is glazed, antiqued, and polished to achieve a time-worn patina.

Product Details: Each figure is individually hand-cast and hand-painted. Every piece is signed, numbered, and dated on the bottom: Bittersweet House Folk Art, Kathryn Campbell.

Styling Ideas

This piece serves as a beautiful accent when tucked into a kitchen hutch alongside antique yelloware bowls or a collection of mochaware. For a seasonal tabletop arrangement, nestle the R192 in a bed of dried sweetgrass or straw to highlight the earthy redware tones. It also pairs naturally with other fraktur-inspired decor and hand-stamped linens to create a cohesive Pennsylvania Dutch look.
