Ended Dept. 56 Dickens’ Village “The Horse and Hounds Pub” Illuminated Porcelain Building (1998-2004)

Serve up Dickensian cheer with this richly detailed “Horse and Hounds Pub” (SKU 56.58340), a lighted building from Department 56’s beloved Dickens’ Village Series. Hand-cast in porcelain and finished by hand, the two-story red-brick public house is trimmed with wreaths, topiary planters, snow-flocked evergreens, and twin chimney pots ready to puff faux smoke once the internal bulb glows.
Introduced / Retired: December 1998 – December 2004
Dimensions: approx. 8.5 "H × 6.5 "W × 6 "D
Includes: original UL-listed light cord (tested) so the leaded windows shine with yuletide warmth.
Condition: excellent vintage—no chips, cracks, or repairs; only minimal shelf wear consistent with light holiday display.
Style it as the cozy neighborhood pub in a Dickens’ Village streetscape, perch it on a bar cart for tongue-in-cheek holiday hospitality, or let the warm glow and Tudor-meets-Victorian brickwork add storybook charm to a bookshelf year-round.
