The DEPT 56 “Christmas in the City” Russian Tea Room is a porcelain collectible from the Department 56 brand. This Christmas Village piece features cordless lighting and a painted finish, making it suitable for any room during the holiday season. With a Russian theme and part of the Christmas in the City collection, this multicolor village house is a charming addition to any holiday decor. Made in 2000, this original piece is designed to bring festive cheer to your home during the Christmas season. This is a brand-new NRFB collector piece. The outer plastic sleeve is still around the box. The piece has never been removed from the box. I’ve had experience, as well as many of experienced collectors, in the past of taking a piece out of the Styrofoam and it was in there so tight that the Styrofoam either cracked or broke off. I hope you can understand why all of my pictures are taken this way. For those interested, my home is smoke-free and pet-free.
