Traditional Papier-mâché Easter Bunny Figurines
£35.00
Straight out of Fantastic Mr Fox, these bunnies aren't cute or sweet, but a throwback to early holiday ornaments. In fact this pair of easter rabbits are made using Papier-mâché technique and naive hand painting, produced by hand in the Eastern part of Germany where for over 100 years the toy industry flourished, supplying the world with objects for the amusement and joy of children. Today unfortunately, only a few studios and their homeworkers continue to produce such items but their charm still operates thanks to their characterful faces, nostalgic appearance and old-fashioned symbolism. It's a slice of an older and simpler time, and to buy one is to ensure the studios continue making for the next generation.
Each figure measures approx 12cm
