Founded in 1984 by Judi and Gary Vaillancourt in Sutton, Massachusetts, Vaillancourt Folk Art is renowned for producing high-end collectible Christmas and holiday figurines using antique 19th-century chocolate and ice cream molds. Each piece is hand-poured with fine chalkware/plaster and meticulously hand-painted by skilled artisans, ensuring no two pieces are identical.

Because Vaillancourt pieces are produced in limited numbers and retired over time, numbered original 1990s vintage releases like this #152 Star Santa remain highly sought after by holiday folk art and Santa collectors.
