Department 56 Heritage Village Collection Thatchers 58297

Department 56 began in 1976 with the introduction of six band- painted lighted ceramic buildings the first pieces of The Original Snow Village. As this collection continued to grow, so did the company. Today Department 56 offers many different Village series.

The Heritage Village Collection includes several lighted Village series, each with its own distinctive style. Each piece is handcrafted of porcelain, individually hand painted, and characterized by the matte finish. Extensive research contributes to the charm and detail of each piece. Cast into the mold is the Department 56 logo-a guarantee of authenticity. Every year pieces are retired from production and the molds broken. This limits the number of pieces and allows for new additions. Special pieces often are created for the various Villages. These include limited editions, each adding to the unique character of the Village and capturing the imagination.
