Vintage Department 56 Alpine Village "Apotek and Tabak" Christmas original box
Product Details
Apotek and Tabak porcelain building from the Department 56 Alpine Village Series, part of the Heritage Village Collection. Introduced in 1986 and officially retired in 1997. This hand-painted porcelain building depicts a traditional Bavarian-style village pharmacy (Apotheke) paired with a shop (Tabak). It features a distinctive dark blue gabled roof with dormer windows, decorative window shutters, and a miniature evergreen tree built into the snowy base. I see no chips or cracks. Some little bits of Styrofoam here and there, not chips
