Sculpted Santa Artists We're so glad you've loved these santa artists. We are happy to offer 2 new {for us} artists here, as well as some old favorite sculpted santa artists, for collecting or gift giving. Here we offer some wonderful, hand sculpted, paper mache santas by Ino Schaller- they are actually a reproduction of the antique candy containers, that are so rare. He is continuing a 100 year old German tradition in hand crafting these wonderful old world pieces. We will be adding exciting, new hand made creations from Ino Schaller in August.

We are very excited to offer here some very rare and wonderful creations by Mary Calehuff, called "Nodders". They consist of 2 or more components designed and balanced to go together and enhance movement. A counterbalanced weight inside the body helps produce the movement. Antique nodders are very rare and rarely available. Each of these nodders are hand sculpted in papier-mache, and carefully hand painted and detailed. All toys and embellishments are authentic, or hand made reproductions, and any baskets are hand woven. Each piece is limited to a production of 25 or less, and are signed, numbered, and dated in the year of it's copyright. As a symbol of good luck, a lady bug is included on each one. Please take a closer look at these fabulous pieces, by clicking on a picture.
While this next row isn't sculpted santas, we couldn't resist showing you these other wonderful nodders by Mary Calehuff. You can find more wonderful artistic pieces in our seasons section.
