America's 250th anniversary offers a wonderful reason to create something unexpected. Center a patriotic vignette around the new Semiquincentennial Set of 2, a festive tribute to family, freedom, and summertime celebrations. Then make the scene your own with patriotic accessories, flags, and seasonal touches.
At Department 56, every piece begins with a story — shaped by skilled hands, thoughtful details, and a deep love of the traditions collectors cherish. From the first sketch to the final hand-painted finish, it’s this artistry that turns each design into something meant to be noticed, remembered, and displayed with pride.
