Winter Woodland Chalkware Belsnickle Santa

The Artistry

A Nature-Inspired Classic. The S651 chalkware Belsnickle is a tribute to the quiet beauty of the forest in winter. Standing approximately 5.75 inches tall and cast from an antique Lauerösch chocolate mold, this Santa wears a hooded cape in a soft antique-white that serves as a canvas for a delicate woodland scene.

The back of the cape features a hand-painted bluebird perched among vibrant holly leaves and red berries, surrounded by trailing winter greenery and detailed pinecones. Santa’s inner coat is a deep forest green, accented with a traditional folk art feather tree sprig motif. Finished with a gentle antiquing and glaze, this chalkware figure perfectly captures the nostalgia of yesteryear and the beauty of the natural world.

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.

Every figure is hand-signed, numbered, and dated on the bottom: Bittersweet House Folk Art, Kathryn Campbell.
