This charming hand-painted porcelain building, titled "The Grand Creamery," was released in 1998 as a signature piece in the Department 56 Seasons Bay collection. Unlike many other holiday villages, the Seasons Bay series was uniquely designed for year-round display, capturing the nostalgic aesthetic of an early 20th-century seaside resort. The structure features a distinctive pink brick facade, a welcoming wrap-around porch, and an elegant rounded cupola that exemplifies the nautical charm of the series.
Measuring approximately 6 inches in height and 7 inches in width, this retired collectible is a centerpiece-quality addition to any architectural miniature display. It comes complete with its original box for safe storage, though please note that it does not include a light cord. Whether you are a dedicated Department 56 collector or simply looking to add a touch of coastal whimsy to your home decor, this detailed creamery offers a sophisticated slice of Americana.
This item is vintage, over 20 years old. While it appears to be in excellent condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. If I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
