Vintage Dept. 56 Dickens’ Village “Big Ben” Illuminated Porcelain Landmark (1998-2003)

Capture the majesty of London’s most famous clock tower—right down to the Gothic tracery and golden clock faces—with this retired Department 56 Dickens’ Village Historical Landmark Series edition of “Big Ben” (SKU 56.58341). Hand-cast in porcelain and meticulously hand-painted, the piece features snow-tipped roofs, festive evergreen swags, and a working light cord that bathes the arched windows in a warm holiday glow.
Introduced in 1998 and retired in 2003, the tower is a sought-after centerpiece for Dickens’ Village collectors and Anglophiles alike. Approximate dimensions: 16 "H × 13.5 "W × 6 "D
The original UL-listed light cord is included and has been tested; no chips, cracks, or repairs noted—only the gentle patina of very light display.
Style it on a mantel, sideboard, or bookshelves to anchor a Christmas village, or let it stand alone as an architectural statement that channels Victorian London charm year-round.
There is a hairline crack on the front left bottom, but it has not actually broken away from the piece, so no repairs have been done.
Also missing is the British flag.
