Two of the most evocative themes of Christmas are children and snow. And, since you can never have too much of a good thing during the holiday season, the combination of these two images is simply irresistible. Elaine Roesle started her career in 1972 creating antique porcelain doll reproductions. Her Snow Children came to life in 1990, from which evolved charming limited edition figurines.   Each piece is designed and created by hand, one piece at a time, by Elaine and her daughter at her in-home studio in Clayton, Ohio. Each treasure is cast in earthenware, fired, hand-painted, and then dressed and adorned with the finest sparkles to looking like freshly fallen snow.  Authenticity of  Elaine’s signature appears on these collectible pieces.  Elaine Roesle’s Snow Children are just what Santa might conjure up in his North Pole workshop!
