The Artistry

This 6-inch R501 Chalkware Mother Rabbit with Baby Carriage is finished in a deeply primitive style, with a muted, hand-mixed antiqued palette that gives it the presence of a well-loved heirloom. The form is hand-cast from an antique Anton Reiche chocolate mold—a classic European-inspired silhouette beloved by folk art collectors.

The aged appearance is achieved through a multi-layered antiquing process that settles into the fine textures of the mold. While it remains a heartwarming choice for a unique baby shower or new arrival gift, its primitive finish also makes it an exceptional addition to a collection of early American country antiques.

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.
