Catalog #R319 — A Two-Sided German Miniature
Click image for enlarged view
Measuring approximately 6 inches tall, this hand-crafted chalkware piece captures the essence of old-world nostalgia. Cast from a rare German antique chocolate mold, it depicts a whimsical rabbit sitting inside a large Easter egg, carrying a basket of eggs upon his back.
This piece is a true canvas for folk art detail. One side features a hand-painted trailing vine of spring flowers accompanied by a cheerful robin. The reverse side reveals the embossed sentiment "Easter Greeting," a permanent part of the original antique mold.
To honor the beauty of the original design, I hand-mix my own colors and apply a meticulous antiquing process to ensure a soft, time-honored patina. It is a perfect seasonal centerpiece that offers a different view from every angle.
