History of Balmoral dates back the 1300s when King Robert II of Scotland had a hunting lodge there. Shortly after being married, Victoria and Albert began to enjoy time in Scotland, and Albert acquired Balmoral in 1852. The young couple soon began planning the large estate castle that was complete in 1856. Albert enjoyed hunting game on the land, Victory enjoyed long walks. Our porcelain interpretation is a hunting lodge that they used while the castle was being built, and later became one of the cottages on the property. Checkered painting inspired by tartan plaid, Antlers above the door, Stone from surrounding grounds, and regal turrets characterize the lodge.

This adorable cottage recalls the historic coastal homes where city dwellers would spend holidays. To keep thatching in place, weights would be tied to the corners of the roof-line. A simple pine sprig wrapped in ribbon on the door and a charming blue-bird provide a welcome to visitors.
The products I ordered were excellent. You can’t expect anything less from Dept. 56. It was a pleasure doing business with you and I hope to continue in the future.

There is hardly a more picturesque sight than that of an old mill. Indeed some of England's greatest painters have chosen mills as subjects. Using water or wind to harness energy is an ancient notion and the streams and rivers of Britain have been driving mill wheels for thousands of years. Early on mills were small, local businesses grinding corn or flour or flax. As industry grew, the Victorians built more and greater mills to drive the machinery of growth. Large mills powered enormous equipment that sawed or ground or lifted huge hammers to card cotton or full wool. By the end of the 19th century, there were 20,000 mills in England. Before the zenith of the Industrial Revolution, on a dusty village road, the miller at Brandon Mill ground corn for his neighbors.
Bond Street Shoppes

Beer is the oldest fermented beverage known and has been made the world over for millennia. For centuries it was not safe to drink water in developed areas and so beer, wine, mead and the like were drunk by all at each meal. This would have been true of the poor and wealthy alike. It is said that Queen Elizabeth l liked ale for breakfast accompanied by eggs and mushrooms with sugar. The poor didn't have sugar but they had alcoholic beverages by the score. In 1830 The Beerhouse Act was installed to regulate all producers. By 1841 there were over 45,000 licensed brewers in the country; some large, some small. Chiswick would have been a neighborhood beer maker serving the public houses nearby. Chiswick is the area of London and home to one of England's largest and oldest brewery, Fuller's Griffin Brewery, producing some of the best known and respected brands of Britian.

About Devon Brook Span Cottage
In Britain there is a centuries old tradition of building small dwellings on or near bridges as a means of collecting a toll. If a bridge were large enough, a tax would be levied to all those sailing beneath as well as those passing on top. Of course, the most famous, occupied bridge in the country was London Bridge which existed for centuries. Not only was the bridge a source of revenue to the city of London, it was wide enough to be a bustling street which boasted hundreds of dwellings and businesses. At one time or another, some of the most respected jewelers, hat makers and goldsmiths resided there. Our little Brook Span Cottage is a more modest abode, long since dropping its toll above the meandering river Exe.

What food could be more associated with British afternoons than rich, thick cream? Whether baked into, poured over or slathered on, cream has been king and continues still. Today, there are no fewer than 9 legal categories described by process and butterfat. While some version of afternoon tea, for the gentry, has existed since the 11th century, the more modern offering hails from Devon where the cows produce a quality of milk and cream still envied. The Devonshire Creamery is our tribute to this delicious food and the proud farmers who bring it to market.
