Capture the historical spirit of the English countryside with the Harvesting Progress figurine set of 3 from the Dickens Village collection by Department 56. Made from porcelain, this hand-painted figurine set includes three charming pieces. One of these detailed minis depicts the master thatcher gathering up his straw in three bundles. The thatcher wears a lovely outfit of a brown coat, brown shoes, and green pants.
Another one of the characters sits on a stool with thatching tools in front of him. He wears a green vest and blue-grey pants along with brown boots. The third charming figurine has a pair of men carrying a box. One man is in a red vest with beige pants, while the one behind him wears a black coat with grey pants.
The box between them holds ceramic tiles and reads West Midlands Railway. In the 1800s, railroads brought ceramic tiles for the first time to many rural areas in England. Beforehand, thatching was the roofing of choice, thus marking a change in the look of the English countryside.
This charming set of miniatures looks wonderful in any mini Dickens village, but especially alongside the Master Thatcher’s Cottage (EN-6013417), sold separately. Bring the charm of rural Victorian England to your holiday display with these lovely figurines by Department 56.
