View item video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/W7aWrLk0pGk?feature=share There is a special calm that surrounds beautifully made nativity art — a quiet reverence that asks nothing more than to be displayed and appreciated. This vintage figurine, created exclusively for Avon in 1981, captures one of the Magi with remarkable simplicity and grace. The sculpting is soft but intentional, with carefully draped robes, carved patterns along the sleeves and hem, and a serene expression that conveys the solemn honor of offering a sacred gift. Cast in matte ivory ceramic, the figure feels like stone worn smooth by time. Every fold and detail is sculpted with care, from the braided cord across his shoulders to the small vessel resting in his hands. For collectors who appreciate nativity sets with a clean, monochromatic palette, this piece carries presence without overwhelming a display. It stands beautifully on its own, yet becomes even more meaningful when paired with other pieces from the original set. Vintage nativity figures like this have become increasingly sought after, not only for holiday décor but as meaningful keepsakes that pass from one Christmas to the next. This Magi remains in outstanding condition with its original box and molded styrofoam cradle, preserved just as it was sold decades ago. Discovered by Treasures of Bako — have we got a gem for you. 601 / 608 -

A beautifully preserved treasure from the esteemed world of Raikes Bears, “Sophie” stands as a testament to Robert Raikes’ unmistakable artistry—where fine woodworking, sculptural presence, and soft textile craftsmanship meet in harmonious collectible form. Produced in 1995 as part of a limited edition series, this charming bear combines a hand-carved wooden face with rich, plush fur and a carefully tailored outfit that reflects Raikes’ dedication to detail and emotional warmth. Sophie is dressed in a delightful vintage-style floral dress trimmed in lace, complete with puffed sleeves, a ribboned waist, and rosette accents that give her an elegant, timeless charm. Her wooden face features the signature Raikes grain pattern—smooth, expressive, and full of life—framed by a plush fur hood that softens her overall silhouette. A coordinating floral bow sits at her ear, adding an extra touch of personality and poise. Included with this piece are her original Applause hangtags, detailing Raikes’ craftsmanship legacy, as well as her original factory box, showing expected age and wear from storage but still presenting beautifully for collectors who value authenticity and provenance. The overall condition of Sophie herself is excellent, with her costume bright and intact, her fur lush, and her carved features retaining their original radiance. A wonderful find for Raikes collectors, teddy bear enthusiasts, vintage doll curators, or anyone drawn to handcrafted artistry. Sophie displays beautifully on a shelf, within a curio cabinet, or as part of a thoughtfully arranged seasonal or year-round vignette—radiating heartwarming nostalgia and fine collectible charm.
