Miniature nativities

Little glass figures. The tallest one is 3'
We actually have two of these. We bought one and the other was given to us. Made in China so it looks like Delft but isn't real Delft ware which is made in the Netherlands.

All of these figures fit in the little house

These plastic nativities were made in the 50's. Carole remembers them being placed on the tree when she was a child.

The one on the left "Silent Night' is 4 1/4" long

They all fit on a 5" doily


Tiny bear tea set. The chicken lifts off the camel tea pot and head comes off of the Joseph creamer. The cups are sheep.

The 2"wobbly figures that all fit in the 3" stable box. 

This reminds me of a cave which is where many people believe Jesus was born. It is actually a shallow  3" tall Christmas tree.

Joseph is 3" tall. Probably a yard sale find.

On a 5" doily
Our smallest nativity-a thimble from the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. Eleanor Greco gave it to us-it was part of her thimble collection. It was special to her because she lived on the grounds of the National Cathedral as a child (due to her father's job.)

Smallest two piece nativity

This is a painted seed pod.
