Product Description
These hand-painted fèves are made of high-fired fine porcelain, with a high-gloss glaze, and decorated in amazing detail but not designed for a specific scale. Perfect as dollhouse décor, but originally made for different use.
In the French Epiphany celebration, a fava bean (fève) was baked into a cake and the lucky guest whose slice contained the prize was crowned King for a day.
Traditions evolved and the bean became a tiny trinket, made just for that purpose and so treasured by its fortunate recipients that they began to be made just for collectors. Over time, demand grew so that now there are fèves as miniature replicas of almost every conceivable object.
The world of French fèves is a very large collection of very small treasures.
This set includes Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, two angels, three Wisemen, and four animals.
Largest piece: approximately 1 1/4"H -
