Our Nativity Set

Mark's mother made this nativity set when she was taking ceramics classes, probably in the late 1960s or early 1970s.  I always admired it in their home and we were fortunate to inherit it from Mark's parents.

Mark's mother obviously took a lot of time and care in making this nativity.  She applied the glazes so carefully and decorated some statues with tiny rhinestones.  The set is quite large, with the standing camels measuring 9 inches tall.  Yes, Lenox China mass produces a lovely and expensive nativity set but this one is special to us because it was handcrafted by a family member.  We're pleased to display this nativity set in our home at Christmas.
