Vaillancourt Folk Art (VFA) is one of the last remaining Made in America Christmas manufactures. Founded in 1984, VFA has become a household name to collectors and Christmas enthusiasts around the world because of their highly detailed, hand-painted, Chalkware figurines. Using vintage moulds, dating as early as the mid-1800s, their Victorian decorative art form is done in a small studio in Central Massachusetts. In addition to their popular chalkware designs, VFA has several other lines, including, Polish Glass Ornaments, English Creamware, and a more contemporary Et Cetera line. Vaillancourt Folk Art is a family owned and operated business that is sold in over 500 stores around the nation (including Macy's, Nordstroms, and Neiman Marcus), their retail studio in Sutton, MA, and through their web site valfa.com. The company's a goal is to create that one special traditional gift, that will be handed down for generations.
