Product Description
Department 56 Dickens Village Golden Swan Baker - Anniversary Edition: Home & Kitchen. Special 25th Anniversary bottom stamp. Third in the ongoing series of new designs reinterpreting the Original Shops of Dickens' Village, introduced in 1984. Preparations for the holiday gatherings included a visit to the bakery. Delectable treats such as ginger cakes and minced pies could be found at the Golden Swan. Many aspects of this new Bakery are reminiscent of the original building offered in 1984; timber-framed construction, brown tile roof, third floor dormer, a large, red-brick chimney, and main floor bay windows. The swan on the front sign, as well as baked goods on the side sign, help customers identify the bakery. The large bay windows feature miniature bakery goods. Signs around the front note the vast selection inside. Note the tiny sculpted broom near the front door, kept handy for cleaning the front step on a snowy day. Touches of silver, to commemorate The 25th Anniversary, are added to the front lantern and hanging sign. The original Shops of Dickens Village featured seven small and simple designs representing the core elements of an English town in the 19th Century-the butcher, the baker, a candle shop, black smith, inn, green grocer, and the basket shop.In 2009 Dept 56 celebrates the Silver Anniversary of this beloved village.
