Alpine Village | (1986-2021)

Alpine Village
Revised 10/29/2022
The Alpine Village series is a porcelain collection that falls under the Heritage Village Collection umbrella and was originally designed by Neilan Lund. Buildings in this collection, for the most part, occupy a small footprint and are inspired by the quaint Bavarian hamlets of Germany.
The original set of five buildings was issued under six separate SKU numbers with one for the entire set and the others for each individual building in the set. The original accessory set of three features a man, a lady, and a dog pulling a milk cart. The entire Alpine Village was retired in 2021.
Along with the popular Christmas Market Booths, Octoberfest, the Christkindl Miracle, Clock shops; several other subseries may be found throughout the Alpine Village Series.
