Mr. Bunny

Made in Eastern Germany in the late 1930s, these paper mache bunnies lay hidden in an abandoned warehouse for more than 70 years. Simply made, they retain all the charm and whimsy of their earlier and better-crafted counterparts, and are hence more affordably priced. Mr. and Mrs. Bunny each has painted spectacles and colorful Bavarian style costume, carrying fabric and chenille flowers and leaves. They separate at the waist for use as a candy container. We have only 30 of each.
