Department 56 Snow Village American Architecture Series Stick Style House 54943

The Original Snow Village® Collection
Just imagine... snow-laden trees, wreaths at the windows, and welcome mats out. These images have come to represent the charming buildings and soft glowing lights of The Original Snow Village. A holiday outing to a small river town was the inspiration for The Original Snow Village. The hope was to recreate the feeling the town conveyed to everyone that night.
Each piece in The Original Snow Village is handcrafted of ceramic, individually hand painted, and fired with a glazed 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 Original Snow Village. These include year of production pieces, event pieces, buildings that recognize our American architecture, and special licenses, each adding to the character of the Village and capturing the imagination.

American Architecture Series
The American Architecture Series began in 1991 as a result of a growing trend in America that placed renewed value on family and home. With this trend came a stronger pride in American history and tradition. Part of the fascination with our history and tradition involves architecture. Whether we delight in the simple log cabins of the pioneers or the great Victorian mansions, the historic homes and buildings in this series are time capsules in which our tradition is preserved. The series offers fresh interesting ideas based on America's rich history and reminds us that the tradition continues. For creators and collectors alike, it's an exciting part of The Original Snow Village.
