Hiking Chalkware Santa with Embroidery Bag

The Artistry

The S710 chalkware Santa depicts a classic hiking Belsnickle on his winter journey. Hand-cast from an antique German chocolate mold, this 5 inch figure is dressed in a vibrant, rich red coat and matching hat, both meticulously trimmed in a hand-painted ermine fur finish.

The centerpiece of this piece is Santa’s oversized hiking pack, which features a beautiful hand-painted design inspired by Elizabethan embroidery. The bag features a scroll-work pattern of colorful floral motifs, including bright blue cornflowers, strawberries, and soft pink blossoms. With his walking stick in hand and a snow-dusted evergreen at his feet, this chalkware figure captures the rugged yet whimsical spirit of old-world European folk art.

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.
