Possible Dreams

In the year 1985, the world of holiday décor was forever enriched by the advent of the Possible Dreams Collection by Department 56. Crafted by the ingenious Paul Change and Warren Stanley, this exquisite collection emanated a unique charm, with finely crafted Santa Claus figurines that have adorned family homes and stirred the holiday spirit ever since.

In the bustling workshops of Department 56, skilled artisans, inspired by diverse global tales and traditions of Santa Claus, breathe life into enchanting designs for the Possible Dreams Figurine Collection. Their meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to excellence manifest in delightful scenes, from Santa’s jovial present delivery endeavors to tender moments with Mrs. Claus, and his relaxed vacation and leisure times.

Each Possible Dreams figurine begins its journey as a thoughtfully crafted design. Once a design is crystallized, a sculpture is carved, setting the stage for the creation of detailed molds. Filled with high-quality resin or ceramic materials, these molds evolve into exquisite figurines, each one meticulously hand-carved and sanded to perfection, ensuring the impeccable form that is synonymous with Department 56 creations.

The artistry unfolds as these figurines are brought to life with rich, vibrant hues. Painstakingly hand-painted, each figurine resonates with lifelike and flawless features, from the warm rosy glow of their cheeks to the gentle sparkle in their eyes. The artisans’ adept use of matte paints and glazes imparts a realistic allure, accentuating each intricate detail.
