For those who put together their Nativity sets piece by piece, this collection of 3 pieces is going to be perfect. The tallest, Joseph, is 8.75" tall and collectively they are all three 17.25" across. The vibrant celestial blue of Mary's cloak, the more somber tones of Joseph's clothing, the adorably swaddled baby all contribute to give us the traditional Holy Family that is the basis for all Nativity sets. From the Nativity Scenes series of Lladro Porcelain Figurines, this trio is sized perfectly to allow as many or as few additional pieces as you desire: a shepherd, some sheep, the three wise men, their camels, oxen, donkeys, a stable, some angels - you are limited only by your imagination. You have the main characters; everything else is beautiful but unnecessary. Each piece is handmade at the Lladro Porcelain Factory in Valencia, Spain, the result of an intense artistic process that gives us, arguably the finest porcelain sculptures on the market today. True art work is meant to be appreciated forever, and these pieces are no exception. A great beginning for your own collection and a wonderful gift to start someone else's, these pieces represent God's gift to us all.
