From Department 56's Alpine Village collection. This entire village was recently discontinued by Department 56 in 2021. Due to the relatively small number of buildings and accessories when compared to the other core villages and due to the short length of time between initial production and retirement during the life of the village, the value of this village's buildings and accessories is predicted to increase significantly. Many pieces have already appreciated greatly in value.
* English translation "Open Air Painter"
* Coordinating accessory for Neuschwanstein Castle"
*** FRAGILE. Please take care to only handle by the solid porcelain sections of the building.
** We recently received almost the entire Christmas in the City, Alpine Village, North Pole, Disney Parks Village series and other Dept 56 villages from a former dealer and serious collector who took great pride in her collection. In order to list as many pieces as quickly as possible, we may just show the box/sleeve in the photos. We absolutely promise that all buildings and accessories list are in perfect, working condition with all separate attachments included. For serious buyers, we are more than happy to take pictures of the individual items prior to shipment at the buyer's direction.

STORE COMMENTS
The majority of our items are listed on consignment. These collectibles are owned by various collectors and former Department 56 retail shop owners. Unless the "Make An Offer" option is included in the listing, sellers is NOT interested in considering offers on their items.
Our goal is to provide you with an efficient buying experience that results in your complete satisfaction. We appreciate being contacted for ANY questions, comments or concerns.
Our packing team places each collectible box under UV light for 10 minutes per exposed surface, which has been shown to eradicate "germs" on the surface. Specific virus names cannot be listed here per policy (apparently); however, you know which one we are targeting. Shippers, masked and gloved, then place your purchase into the final shipping box. This process does not harm your collectible nor change the printing on the box.
Please visit our Store for additional Department 56 and Walt Disney Classics Collection (WDCC) collectibles. It's likely we can find most pieces (especially pre-2000) from these two collectible lines. Please send us your requests. We will list your desired piece and notify you when that occurs.
Of course, combined shipping is always available. We pride ourselves in giving you and honest assessment of all of the pieces trusted to us for sale. We are mostly a consignment service but take full responsibility for all listings provided in our Store.
Best Wishes to everyone during these unique times. Happy Holidays to All !!
