Ceramic Christmas Houses & Churches
Small ceramic buildings to light from within and collect one or two at a time.
Houses, churches and other buildings in matt white ceramic, in a range of heights so a group has some variation to it rather than sitting in a flat row. Most have an opening at the back t out a light, which is what makes them earn their place on a dark afternoon: set along a windowsill they read from the street as well as from inside the room.
Start with two or three and the village grows over the years, which is how most of these collections begin. Ceramic trees and animals sit alongside them in the wider Christmas ornaments collection, or browse all Christmas decorations. Chosen at our London Street shop in Edinburgh, with fast delivery and gift wrapping available.
