Nativity Scene

This gorgeous nativity scene depicted in glass was donated to Perth Museum in 2007.  The detailed figurines stand approx 12” high and include the Holy Family, Three Kings, a cow and a horse.
These unique pieces were created by Franco Toffolo, Venetian glass master, for a seasonal display at the premises of Caithness Glass. The set was never mass-produced or offered for sale to the public.
Franco Toffolo worked at Caithness Glass from 1981 until his retirement in 2002.  He died last month, aged 79.  His creations are treasured by glass collectors all over the world.
