1997 Ashley Pond Skating Party (Dickens Village Series)

Step into the festive charm of a Victorian winter with the Ashley Pond Skating Party by Department 56, a delightful accessory set from the beloved Dickens Village Series. Introduced in December 1997, this beautifully crafted 6-piece porcelain set captures the joy of villagers enjoying a winter skating gathering beside a charming pond house. Hand-painted in classic seasonal colors, the set features detailed skater figurines, lantern accents, and a quaint pond structure that evokes the cozy holiday spirit of 19th-century England. Each piece helps bring life and motion to a Department 56 Christmas village, making it an excellent addition to Heritage Village, Dickens Village, or traditional holiday décor displays.
