Swedish Folk Art Nativity Set and Church Model

This is a comprehensive polychrome ceramic Nativity set accompanied by a Large architectural church model, characteristic of 20th-century Scandinavian folk art. The collection includes approximately 18 distinct hand-painted ceramic figurines, including the Holy Family, the Three Kings (Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar), a shepherd, various livestock such as sheep, a camel, a donkey, and an ox, along with several smaller folk figures in traditional dress. The figurines exhibit a primitive, expressive style with glossy glazed finishes in earthy tones, deep purples, and vibrant blues. The church structure is a multi-part architectural model featuring a white stucco-textured longhouse with a terracotta-colored gabled roof and a separate, substantial square bell tower (klockstapel). The tower is topped with a black shingled roof, a golden orb finial, and a decorative weather vane or cross. The craftsmanship is indicative of studio pottery, likely originating from Sweden, possibly associated with a specific regional style or workshop like Lisskarigården as suggested by the context. The condition appears well-preserved with no major structural losses visible, though minor surface abrasions and typical glaze crazing associated with age may be present. The scale and hand-finished nature suggest these were intended as both seasonal holiday decorations and high-quality folk art collectibles.
