The Artistry
Catalog #R320 measures approximately 6 inches wide and features a low, crouching silhouette that collectors of early American primitives find especially appealing. The figure is hand-cast from an antique chocolate mold and finished to feel like a well-loved antique rather than a bright, new decoration.
I hand-mix my own colors to arrive at the historic, time-softened tones found in early folk art and painted surfaces. After painting, each piece is antiqued by hand to create a mellow patina that settles into the texture and brings out the relief.

Styling Ideas
R320 is an easy piece to layer into a primitive display—nestled among pantry boxes, perched on a mantel, or tucked beside early treenware, baskets, and stoneware where the muted finish feels right at home.
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.
The exacting craftsmanship and attention to detail ensure a treasure that reflects our historic past and will last for generations to come. Every figure is hand-signed, numbered, and dated on the bottom: Bittersweet House Folk Art, Kathryn Campbell.
