Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer Orkas

The wood is sourced from sustainable European forestry, which stands for environmentally friendly and responsible use of resources. Each figure is handcrafted with precision according to a defined pattern, which gives the wood its unique appearance. The glazes and colors emphasize the natural wood structure and make each piece truly unique. The colors are saliva-proof, without animal ingredients and perfectly matched to the unmistakable Ostheimer design. Finally, organic oil is used for protection.

Warning note: Caution! Not suitable for children under 3 years of age, as small parts can be detached or broken off and swallowed.
