The Gardening Mother Rabbit

This charming 4-inch chalkware figure captures a busy moment in the life of a folk art rabbit. Cast from an antique chocolate mold, the Mother Rabbit is depicted carrying her baby in a traditional pannier backpack on her back.

In her hand, she carries a bunch of freshly harvested carrots and radishes, complete with hand-painted green tops. This piece is a wonderful example of the storytelling found in old-world German molds, brought to life with meticulous painting and my signature antiquing process.

Bittersweet House Folk Art captures the character and warmth of the German tradition through self-taught methods. The exacting craftsmanship and attention to detail ensure that each piece takes on the feel of a well-loved antique. Every piece is hand-cast, signed, numbered, and dated on the bottom by Kathryn Campbell.
