Thomas Schaller Candy Containers
by Christopher Radko

What is a Schaller?  A Schaller is a German hand crafted paper mache candy container usually in the form of a Santa.  Each piece takes up to 7 days to create, and some are encrusted with millions of tiny tiny colored beads.  This is an old craft from Germany that became almost obsolete after World War II.  The original Schaller's were named after the founder Ino Schaller.  In recent years the great grandson Thomas Schaller, brought life back to the craft and began re-producing these wonderful pieces of art using the original molds.  What we have showcased below are the new Schaller originals made exclusively for the Christopher Radko company.
