Add a little handcrafted warmth to your Christmas tree with this small ceramic snowman ornament, shaped and illustrated by hand in my studio.
Made from rustic terracotta clay, this snowman features a soft white slip base with hand-drawn detailing. He wears a natural-toned hat with a deep green band, a striped forest-green scarf wrapped closely around his neck, and a bright carrot nose that adds a cheerful touch. The black outlines and slightly uneven brush marks celebrate the beauty of slow, handmade work.
The edges gently reveal the warm terracotta beneath the slip, adding depth and a subtle vintage character. On the back, the ornament is finished in natural clay and stamped with the Fabode mark in green, making it special from every angle.
It hangs from simple rustic twine, ready for your tree, a festive branch, or a cosy winter display.
This piece is intentionally not factory-perfect. Small marks and variations are part of its charm and authenticity.

How it’s made
Each ornament is shaped by hand from terracotta clay. Once dry, a layer of white slip is applied and the snowman is carefully illustrated by hand. After drying, the piece is kiln fired for strength and durability. The back remains in natural clay and is stamped with the Fabode signature.
No two ornaments will ever be exactly the same.

Care
Handle gently and store wrapped or padded when not in use. Dust lightly with a soft cloth if needed.
This is a one-of-a-kind handmade Christmas ornament. Only one snowman exists in this exact form and decoration — a small piece of festive folk art made slowly and thoughtfully.
