Heap snow on the tops of mountains, add a cozy alpine hamlet and many would agree you've created one of the most scenic places on earth.  This is the setting for our hand-painted porcelain Alpine Village Series introduced in 1986.  Hilltop chalets and establishments bearing German names line the snow-laden roads and Villagers delight in winter activities that come with mountain living, like skiing, snow-shoeing, and hiking.  With a little imagination, you can almost hear the alpenhorn echoing through the mountain air and the holiday music floating through the Village streets.
