Chimneysweep Snowman

Just Chillin’ in the Chimney!

This “Chimneysweep Snowman” is from the Polwoggs Ho-Ho Holiday Collection by Department 56.

Polwoggs are hand-painted sculptures that recall the days of early America. Designed by well-known California folk artists David Critchfield and Vic Fortunato, these primitive folk figures, skillfully hand-crafted in resin, are inspired by the appeal of papier-mâché and paper pulp art.

All set for some serious chimney sweeping, this frosty fellow’s arms are hinged. In one hand he carries his trusty sweeper. With a pipe tightly clinched in his teeth, this sweet snowman’s look is complete as he sports a crooked stovepipe hat on his head, an orange carrot nose and two eyes made of coal!

“Chimneysweep Snowman” measures approximately 9” x 4” and has been lovingly hand-painted and dusted with sparkling snow-like glitter. Long retired, this whimsical collectors’ piece is in mint condition from holidayshopsaratoga.com store stock.
