Kensington Palace

Available only from Nov. 5 - Nov. 9, 1998, at participating retailers, Kensington Palace is a special edition lighted piece inspired by the actual Kensington Palace, one of London’s most visited historical buildings. Department 56’s Kensington Palace is a rendition of the main building’s south wing, complete with wide, stately paned windows. The handcrafted porcelain piece includes replicas of the palace’s wrought iron gate, painted in black and finished with 18-karat gold, and the King William III statue that appears inside the front gate. A Great Britain flag and evergreen hedges also are included with the piece.

Department 56 will donate a portion of the proceeds from Kensington Palace sales to local Ronald McDonald Houses in North America adding to the $2 million raised by Department 56 since 1995. Kensington Palace will be available for U.S. $195/CN $295.
