Cherry Blossom Chalkware Rabbit

The Artistry

R247 is a sweet springtime miniature—just 3 ½"—depicting a mother rabbit carefully carrying a platter of eggs. Hand-cast from an antique German chocolate mold, the figure has the quiet charm of early folk pieces: simple, purposeful, and full of character.

I hand-paint the apron with a delicate cherry blossom motif—an orchard-in-bloom detail that feels both nostalgic and refined. The small scale requires fine brushwork and measured color so the design stays crisp without overpowering the form, making each one a true “masterwork in miniature.”

Styling Ideas

This piece works beautifully tucked into a cupboard vignette with ironstone, early wood, or stoneware. It’s also charming on a small stack of books or a narrow sill where the silhouette and painted apron can be appreciated up close.
