Department 56 New England Village Castle Glassworks Lighted Building with Box

A finely detailed and historically themed piece from Department 56’s New England Village Series, the Castle Glassworks honors the heritage of early American glassmaking. Introduced in 2002 as a limited edition of 15,000, this design captures the look of a mid-19th-century glass foundry, complete with brick furnaces, tall smoke stacks, barrels, and crates ready for shipment. This example is numbered 03884 of 15,000 and retains its original box, fitted styrofoam, and light cord. The building displays beautifully with crisp hand-painted detail, clean snow accents, and no chips, cracks, or repairs noted. All chimneys are intact and secure, and illumination functions properly. Measures approximately 9 in H × 8 in L × 6 in D. A striking centerpiece for any New England Village display or an ideal stand-alone collector’s piece reflecting the artisanal industrial spirit of the early 1800s.
