2002 Dept 56 "The Easter Chapel" Tealight Candle Holder. Bisque porcelain. Measures about 9" in height by 6" wide. Very good condition. Does not come with box.
Illuminate your spring celebrations with the ethereal beauty of "The Easter Chapel" from Department 56’s 2002 seasonal collection. Known for their world-renowned architectural miniatures, Department 56 crafted this piece in fine bisque porcelain to capture the quiet reverence and renewal of the Easter season. Standing approximately 9 inches in height, the chapel features a classic Gothic-inspired design with a high, pointed steeple and delicate fretwork in the windows. When a tealight is placed inside, the unglazed porcelain diffuses the light, casting a soft, warm glow through the architectural cut-outs and bringing the scene to life. The base is decorated with charming, hand-painted floral accents in soft pastels, evoking the feeling of a countryside church at the peak of a spring bloom.
This piece is in very good condition, with the matte bisque finish remaining clean and the delicate porcelain structure perfectly preserved. While it does not come with its original box, the chapel stands as a substantial and sophisticated focal point on its own. For the modern home, this tealight holder is a "maximalist" holiday dream, fitting seamlessly into a "shabby chic" mantel display or as a peaceful centerpiece on a "rustic farmhouse" dining table. Its timeless white palette and subtle pops of color allow it to bridge the gap between traditional Easter decor and a contemporary "grandmillennial" aesthetic. Whether you are a dedicated Department 56 village collector or simply seeking a refined way to bring the light of spring into your home, this Easter Chapel is a beautiful testament to late-century porcelain craftsmanship.
