The Artistry

Warmth and character. The S837 chalkware Santa is a classic celebration of traditional holiday aesthetics, designed to feel like a primitive treasure found in a snow-covered cabin. Hand-cast from an antique Anton Reiche chocolate mold, this 6.5-inch Belsnickle is finished in a rich, warm brown that evokes the nostalgic feel of aged wood or vintage gingerbread.

This figure features striking red mittens that provide a vibrant contrast to his earthy coat, complemented by hand-painted holly sprigs and bright red berries on his hat and boots. Nestled in his arm is a snowy bottle brush tree, perfectly capturing the "woodland folk art" charm that Bittersweet House is known for. It is a timeless piece that brings a cozy, grounded energy to any holiday display.

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.
