Seligter Vater Krippenfigur

I was really impressed with the weight and feel of this porcelain figurine—it’s much sturdier than I expected for a decorative piece. The enamel work on St. Joseph’s clothing has a subtle, almost glossy depth that catches the light beautifully.

The hand-painted enamel shading on St. Joseph’s robes is far more delicate in person than in the photos—those little color transitions are exquisite. It’s been sitting on our mantel for a week and I still catch myself staring at the craftsmanship.

The soft blue and gold tones on this nativity figure are even more delicate in person than in the pictures. It arrived well-packaged and feels substantial, not fragile like some other porcelain pieces I’ve handled.
