The Wintry Blue Chalkware Belsnickle

The Artistry

The S445 is a charming 4-inch Chalkware Belsnickle cast from an antique German chocolate mold. This Santa is finished in a serene wintry blue palette, reminiscent of the muted blues of the colonial era. The cool, frosted tone of the coat provides a striking backdrop for the classic companion bear tucked in Santa's bag.

The Design

True to the Early American Folk Art tradition, the painting on this piece emphasizes a soft, weathered patina. The hand-painted details on the bear and the Santa's expression are fine and deliberate, capturing a moment of quiet winter joy. To enhance the "frozen" feel of the blue coat, request Diamond Frost glass glitter to be added to the beard and the snow-dusted base, giving the entire piece a crystalline, vintage shimmer.

Of Special Note:
Each piece is individually cast in chalkware using an antique chocolate mold, hand-painted, antiqued, signed, numbered, and dated by Kathryn Campbell.
