The Artistry
Catalog #R322 is a charming 5-inch chalkware figure cast from a rare German antique chocolate mold. The design captures a determined little chick pulling a wheeled cart—an old-world storytelling motif that appears in only a small number of historic confectionery molds.
Nestled in the cart is a generously sized egg, hand-painted with a delicate floral pattern inspired by early folk art decoration. The combination of movement, painted surface, and narrative detail gives this piece a joyful springtime character while remaining rooted in traditional German folk art.

Styling Ideas
R322 makes a delightful focal point in a spring or Easter display. It works beautifully in a stepback cupboard, on a mantel, or layered with early wood, baskets, and stoneware. The floral egg adds color without overwhelming a quiet, collected vignette.
Product Details: Bittersweet House Folk Art captures the character and warmth of historic German chalkware. Each piece is individually hand-cast from an antique chocolate mold, hand-painted, and finished with a soft antiqued patina.
