Museum Vault

This rotating collection of vintage Vaillancourt Chalkware and Ornaments represent some of the most essential Vaillancourt collectibles from days past. Most come out of long-term storage—originally discovered during the company’s move from their original Armsby Road Farmhouse headquarters to today’s Manchaug Mills location—or deaccessioned private collections because of their rarity and importance. To preserve the historical accuracy of these pieces, some may have been touched-up or re-bottomed while others lovingly show the defects of the time (whether the original crackle finish used or even the “messy” bottoming and signing that often was illegible). We consider the Museum Vault collection to be some of the most important pieces in documenting the tradition of Christmas.
