I collected House of Hatten Christmas ornaments, figures and statues for several years. After Christmas I would go and buy all I could afford at half price. One of the things about being a collector of anything is that you must have a place to put them. I got an old huge wall clock cabinet from Bill Matthews many years ago. I had it stripped and redone and glass shelves put it. It is about 5 feet tall and is hidden behind the entry hall door. It’s full of Christmas all the time, but no one ever sees it. The only other person I know that collects House of Hatten was Irma Gail Hatcher in Conway. I just love the shapes and the color and the old world look. I don’t even know if they are still making it anymore. I got what I needed and just stopped buying.

I have a collection of the House of Hatten! Love the old world look.
I’ve added this post to my blog at http://www.365daysofsantaclaus.blogspot.com/2015/01/house-of-hatten-enchanted-forest-santa.html
It is always fun to find other creative people’s blogs!
Thank you. Since I am still teaching and do so many things my blog is a way to keep up with who, what, when, and where.
Hi! I have a question for you Jim. I bought a Denise Calla House of Hatten ornament in a REALLY dusty thrift shop. I tried cleaning with a dry q tip but nothing came off. Can a dab of water be applied? It is the cupboard keeper. …Please let me know what you think…Thank You
I bought all of mine ne and they are all in a cabinet. So, I have never washed them.
But, I find dirty things all the time. Since it probably has grease on it I would suggest to use 409 Spray
and wet the rag first and try a section on the bottom somewhere. Then you will see if the paint is coming off.
I would not soak it in water though. Great find! Thanks for the question. Happy Holidays!
I acquired five House of Hatten 1993 Nutcracker Suite figures at an estate sale recently and am wondering how many were in the original set.
Where did you get yours? I got rid of a lot of mine at my sale recently.
Don’t know how many were is a set. Sorry.
I love these. But, I had to scale down my collecting.
I was in Placitas at an estate sale and saw them sitting on a table and couldn’t leave them behind, so I guess now I have a collection.
