2001 Dept 56 Anniversary Event Village "Footbridge". Ceramic. Measures about 1.5" in height by 6.25" long. Very good condition. Comes with box.
This 2001 Department 56 "Footbridge" is a refined accessory released as part of a special Anniversary Event. Measuring six and a quarter inches in length, this ceramic piece is designed to provide a graceful transition between village sections, adding architectural depth and a sense of movement to any display. The craftsmanship reflects the high standards of the 25th Anniversary era, featuring realistic stone-like textures and a timeless arched silhouette that fits seamlessly into a variety of village series, from Dickens' Village to New England.
While traditionally used in holiday displays, this footbridge serves as a sophisticated "theatrical curiosity" for a library shelf or desk when used as a stand-alone sculptural accent. Its neutral, masonry-inspired tones allow it to function as a miniature piece of landscape architecture, perhaps tucked among small houseplants or used to elevate a collection of vintage inkwells. The bridge is in very good condition, with the ceramic remaining crisp and free of chips or hairline cracks. It includes its original anniversary box, making it a well-preserved find for the dedicated Department 56 collector or those looking to add a touch of classic, small-scale stonework to their decor.
This item is vintage, 25 years old.
