Artoria Nativity Set Hand-Painted Limoges Figurines
The whole Christmas story comes together in this Artoria nativity, a set of hand-painted Limoges figurines that can be arranged into the manger scene. All 15 pieces of the set were made in Limoges, France.
Under the Star of Bethlehem
The nativity has been set up in homes and churches for centuries, a quiet reminder at the center of the holiday rush. With separate figures, this set lets you build the scene your own way, moving shepherds and wise men closer to the manger as Christmas Day approaches.

Advent on the Sideboard
Arrange it on a sideboard, a hall table, a mantel or beneath the tree. Many families make setting out the nativity a tradition of its own, unwrapping each figure on the first Sunday of Advent. It is a meaningful present for a godparent, a parish volunteer, a newly married couple's first Christmas, or a grandparent who hosts the holiday.
Generations Around the Manger
A porcelain nativity tends to be handed down rather than replaced. Each year it comes out of its wrapping looking the same, while the family gathered around it grows and changes.
