In 1984, Judi Vaillancourt received her first three antique chocolate molds from her husband Gary. Today the Vaillancourt family has over 4,000 vintage molds which makes up one of the largest collections in the world. Vaillancourt chalkware figures are made by and in Sutton, Massachusetts. Their collection consists of more than 15,000 designs of Santas, Father Christmas, Belsnickels, chalkware Rabbits, and some Halloween figures.

"Fascinated by the exquisite workmanship in her antique molds, Judi, an artist by training, filled them with a plaster-like substance and hand-painted the resulting "chalkware." The finished products were stunning. By painting the figurines, Judi had unlocked the mold-makers' intricate artistry, bringing it to life as never before.

While the mold-makers' palette had been limited  quite literally  to chocolate brown, Judi's colors brought the figures to life. Particularly compelling are the hand-painted eyes on the faces of each figure, which display a richness of emotion completely hidden when the pieces were molded in chocolate." - VFA Online
