The Crouching Easter Chalkware Rabbit

The Artistry

Catalog #R332 is a 4-inch crouching rabbit cast from a rare antique chocolate mold. The figure sits atop a hand-painted pedestal decorated with a trailing folk art motif of stylized flowers and leaves—an old-world detail that gives the piece a quiet sense of refinement.

The painting is finished with a soft, gently aged patina so the relief stays crisp while the surface reads like a well-loved antique.

Styling Ideas

R332 layers beautifully into spring displays in a primitive stepback cupboard, perched on a stack of antique butter molds, or styled with early wood, ironstone, and neutral stoneware. The pedestal base adds just enough pattern to feel special without overwhelming a quiet vignette.

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.
