Department 56 Side Porch Cafe – Seasons Bay Collection
This charming Department 56 Side Porch Cafe is part of the Seasons Bay collection, a turn-of-the-century resort town series introduced in 1998.
The Side Porch Cafe features a distinctive open side porch surrounded by fencing, with a hanging café sign. The building captures the relaxed atmosphere of a nostalgic resort town and is designed with the architectural details characteristic of the Seasons Bay collection.
This is First Edition #53403, introduced in 1998 and retired in 1999.
The building measures approximately 6¼ inches high, 6¼ inches wide, and 4¼ inches deep.
It includes the light cord and remains in its original Department 56 packaging.
The building is in very good condition and appears like new, with no chips or cracks. I cannot determine whether it was ever displayed or used.
