Add a touch of calm, Nordic charm to your Christmas tree with this small handmade ceramic snowman ornament, shaped and illustrated slowly by hand in my studio.
Made from rustic terracotta clay, this snowman is finished with a soft white slip and delicate hand-drawn detailing. He wears a black hat with a pale mint band and a gently striped soft blue-green scarf wrapped closely around his neck. A bright carrot nose brings warmth and contrast, while the fine black outlines and visible brush textures celebrate the beauty of handmade work.
The edges softly reveal the warm terracotta beneath the slip, adding depth and an understated vintage feel. It hangs from simple natural twine, ready for your Christmas tree, a seasonal branch, or a quiet winter display.
This ornament is intentionally not factory-perfect — small variations and subtle marks are part of its story and charm.

How it’s made
Each ornament is individually shaped from terracotta clay. Once dry, a layer of white slip is applied and the snowman is carefully illustrated by hand. The piece is then kiln fired to ensure durability while keeping its natural, earthy character.
Because every ornament is handmade, no two snowmen will ever be exactly the same.

Care
Handle gently and store wrapped or padded when not in use. This is a ceramic piece, and can be washed with dish soap and water.
This is a one-of-a-kind handmade Christmas ornament. Only one snowman exists in this exact soft mint colour combination — a small piece of festive folk art made slowly and thoughtfully.
