Vaillancourt Folk Art (click to see
the rest of what we have for sale) is best known for their
hand painted collectible chalkware figurines, which
are molded from antique chocolate moulds, and
their hand blown glass ornaments - which are
interpretations of the chocolate figurines. Judi
Vaillancourt's collection of vintage chocolate
moulds is one of the largest collections in the
world. The moulds date back to the 19th century
when a gift of chocolate was a special treasure and
every small European village had a chocolate shop.
Today, these moulds are used to create the
Vaillancourt chalkware figurines that have been
hand painted in Sutton Massachusettes since 1984.
