Department 56 Christmas in the City. A Department 56 Collectible. Christmas in the City. Cathedral Church of St Mark. Good Condition – Store Displayed – Appears to have very small, white specks of? On roof (almost like they used a liquid snow and this was the overspray). Styrofoam Box packaging and sleeve are present: Most of which are in excellent condition with minimal if any shelf wear. However, as they are 20+ years old, some Sleeve’s may have yellowing, sticker, water or other stains, bent edges or wrinkles. A couple of Sleeves do have a tear or a small amount of writing on them. Has proper light cord. Photo’s are of actual piece that you will receive. #2591 of 17,500 Pieces Produced. Note: as these are hand painted porcelain, individual nuances do occur—for example—a corner might have been missed being fully painted or you may be able to see brush strokes. Though this is old store stock. It was probably the store display. It has been in storage since at least 2008 – probably longer (as they put the last of their items from the closed shops in storage in 2008 – many items were already in storage when they closed the stores).

Department 56 Christmas In The City collection’s Cathedral Church of St. Mark created a lot of drama when it was first released. This building was originally designed as a Dickens’ Village church; however, it was too large to fit into that collection. Plans were to manufacture the church as a numbered limited edition of 17,500 buildings. But the manufacturing process in 2001 for this large church resulted in severe warping and breakage causing the company to cease production after 6 1/2 months and only 3,024 completed churches that were sellable. Three separate molds were used to create this very large, very impressive cathedral. This is limited edition number 2,881. Since it was made towards the end of the production run, many of the early issues causing poor quality were resolved. There are no obvious flaws noted in this beautiful church. We appreciate being contacted for ANY questions, comments or concerns. Our packing team places each collectible box under UV light for 10 minutes per exposed surface, which has been shown to eradicate “germs” on the surface. Specific virus names cannot be listed here per policy (apparently); however, you know which one we are targeting. This process does not harm your collectible nor change the printing on the box. Please visit our Store for additional Department 56 and Walt Disney Classics Collection (WDCC) collectibles. It’s likely we can find most pieces (especially pre-2000) from these two collectible lines. Please send us your requests. We will list your desired piece and notify you when that occurs. We pride ourselves in giving you and honest assessment of all of the pieces trusted to us for sale. We are mostly a consignment service but take full responsibility for all listings provided in our Store. Best Wishes to everyone during these unique times. Happy Holidays to All!
