Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to clean Department 56 Village items?
They recommend using a soft brush or feather duster to remove surface dust. Collectors also find a hair dryer on a low, cool setting or canned air effective. Avoid liquid sprays or soapy water solutions as they may damage the finish.
Can I get a replacement box for my Village piece?
Unfortunately, Department 56 does not have extra boxes available. If the original box is lost or damaged, they suggest storing the piece in a clean, sturdy cardboard box with adequate packaging material.
What is the best way to store my Village pieces and accessories?
They recommend storing pieces in a comfortable temperature (50-80 degrees F) and dry area, using large plastic containers to prevent dampness. Avoid attics or places that get too warm, as extreme temperatures can negatively affect components.
How often are new introductions for the Villages announced?
New introductions are typically announced twice a year: a main introduction in January (available by summer) and a smaller mid-year introduction in late Spring (available by the holiday season).
What is the main difference between The Original Snow Village and the Heritage Village Collections?
The Original Snow Village pieces are crafted from ceramic with a shiny, glazed finish, while Heritage Village Collection pieces are made from porcelain with a matte finish.
