Know before you buy
Yes, this piece is designed to be illuminated. It includes a standard light cord and bulb to bring the interior of the shop to life in your display.
The Sal's Pizza & Pasta building is scaled to fit within the standard Christmas In The City collection. It measures approximately 7.5 inches in height, making it a mid-sized structure that works well as a focal point or a background building.
While it is part of the Christmas In The City series, it can be displayed with other Department 56 collections if you are aiming for a mixed-theme village. However, keep in mind that the architectural style is specifically designed to reflect a metropolitan urban aesthetic.
This piece is crafted from high-quality porcelain, which is the standard material for Department 56 village buildings. It provides a durable, smooth finish that captures the fine architectural details of the storefront.
To clean, use a soft, dry cloth or a gentle dusting brush to remove debris. We recommend storing it in its original packaging with the included foam inserts to protect the delicate exterior details during the off-season.
