The Large Jumping Jack Chalkware Rabbit

The Artistry

Standing (and leaping) at an impressive 9 1/2 inches, our R205 Chalkware Jumping Jack Rabbit is ready to bound right over the garden fence and into your home. This substantial figure is hand-cast in chalkware from a highly detailed and rare antique German chocolate mold, capturing the energetic spirit of the classic Easter season.

The rabbit is meticulously hand-painted in a timeless palette of amber and honey gold, reminiscent of the warm tones found in early American yelloware. Following the painting, each piece is glazed and hand-antiqued to achieve a deep, aged patina that honors the centuries-old German tradition of holiday chalkware.

Styling Ideas

Because of its size and dynamic pose, this large chalkware rabbit serves as a magnificent focal point for a Spring vignette. It fits beautifully within a farmhouse aesthetic when placed atop a stack of vintage wooden crates or on a deep window sill. For a more traditional look, try displaying it on a large primitive trencher filled with dried grass and speckled eggs, or as a centerpiece on a harvest table alongside early American redware.

Product Details: Bittersweet House Folk Art captures the character and warmth of the German folk art tradition of chalkware. Each piece is individually hand-cast from an antique chocolate mold and meticulously hand-painted.
