The Artistry
Catalog #R327 is a hand-crafted 5-inch chalkware rabbit that captures the innocent charm of a bygone era. Cast from an antique German chocolate mold, she is dressed in a full skirt with delicate bloomers peeking out—one of those small, endearing details that makes these old designs so beloved.
Each rabbit is hand-painted in a traditional folk art palette and finished with gentle antiquing to bring out the relief and give the surface a warm, timeworn patina—like a well-kept antique found on a back shelf.

Styling Ideas
R327 displays beautifully in a stepback cupboard or a spring vignette with early wood, baskets, stoneware, and antique textiles. Her small scale makes her especially charming tucked into layered displays where the dress detail can be appreciated up close.
Product Details: Bittersweet House Folk Art preserves the character of antique confectionery molds by translating them into chalkware. Each piece is individually hand-cast, hand-painted, and antiqued, then signed, numbered, and dated on the bottom: Bittersweet House Folk Art, Kathryn Campbell.
