Our order no: #23

History:
These figurines were used in the “Three Kings Cake”. I bought them from Alsace (France) and they were baked inside the “Three Kings Cake” also called “Epiphany Cake”. Epiphany is celebrated on the 6th January. Who gets the figurine is the king for the day and can wish from the others whatever they may. Be careful how you use your kingly powers 🙂

The figurines are made from porcelain and many of them were made by Santon. (search google: epiphany santon figurine)
