Large Antique Easter Bunny Rabbit Paper Mache Candy Container With Cotton Chick For Sale
Welcome to our sale! Many of you know
us as longtime collectors and sellers of antique and vintage Hallowe'en,
Christmas, and Easter holiday memorabilia, paper ephemera, antique dolls and
toys, and lovely old china and glassware. For your consideration, we present an adorable,
magnificent, early, large composition over formed and stapled cardboard bunny
rabbit candy container that was made in Germany in the early part of the 20th
century! She lovinglycarries her little chick friend who was made somewhat later. Please meet Daffodil and Pipsqueak!
Daffodil is marked Germany in purple on her underside, along with her original
price that was a whopping 25 cents!!! This is a big bunny measuring just about 10”
tall! Daffy’s head removes so that candy may be placed inside her body.Shewas painted in wonderful shades of
warm brown, creamy beige, ivory white, and black was used for her eartips and
the stripe on her back, as well as her hand-painted nose and mouth. She has
lovely amber-colored glass eyes and dark pupils. She has wooden stick legs.Her little friend, Pipsqueak, is made from
cotton batting, has tiny black eyes, a pink paper beak and orange paper-covered
wire feet. Pip has her original tag that reads “Made in Occupied Japan”. Pip is
attached to her beloved Daffodil. Together forever!The exact condition for these two
charming buddies is as follows: Daffy has some rubs to her paint commensurate with
her elderly age, and a crack around one foot that shows mostly from the
underside. Pip has no condition issues to report except for a tiny bit of
darkening near her beak.Candy containers such as Daffodil were
filled with sweet treats and given to good little children on Easter morning.
This is an extremely difficult decoration for us to part with since we LOVE
bunny reabbits and little chicks, too. We think this hard-to-find decoration
would be perfect for the rabbit collector, chick collector, candy container collector,
Easter memorabilia enthusiast or someone who loves wildlife as we do.WE
