FITZ AND FLOYD CANDY LANE EXPRESS CERAMIC CHRISTMAS TRAIN SET

DESCRIPTION

A delightfully whimsical Fitz and Floyd Candy Lane Express train featuring gingerbread characters, peppermint wheels, candy-cane trim, cupcakes, icing, and richly detailed hand-painted decoration.

This charming three-piece ceramic Christmas train brings the magic of a vintage candy shop and storybook holiday village to a mantel, buffet, dining table, or seasonal display.

The set includes a candy-covered locomotive, a center car marked “Candy Lane Express,” and an elaborate caboose adorned with gingerbread figures and colorful confectionery details. The train was designed with small connector chains between the sections. One connector chain is present, while the second is missing. The three pieces can still be arranged together beautifully as a complete display.

Every surface is filled with playful sculptural detail, from the spiral peppermint engine wheel and ice-cream-cone smokestack to the lattice pastry roof, candy-cane columns, peppermint wheels, iced cupcakes, and cheerful gingerbread conductors.

Created by Fitz and Floyd, this discontinued holiday collectible reflects the brand’s beloved blend of elaborate craftsmanship, saturated color, and theatrical seasonal charm. It is especially well suited to collectors of Fitz and Floyd Christmas decor, gingerbread houses, candy-themed holiday pieces, and whimsical vintage ceramics.

Display it along a mantel, beneath a Christmas tree, as part of a holiday village, or as an unforgettable centerpiece for a dessert table or Christmas buffet.

Very good vintage condition with light age-related wear and natural variation in the hand-painted finish. No chips, cracks, or repairs observed. The three ceramic train sections and detailed applied elements appear intact.

One small connector chain is missing between two of the train cars. The remaining chain and attachment loops are present, and the pieces can still be displayed together as shown.

Because this is a hand-painted vintage piece, slight differences in glaze, brushwork, texture, and coloration are part of its original character. Please review all photographs closely, as they form an important part of the condition description.
