Somebody always asks where the baby goes, and setting out the little manger becomes the moment everyone gathers around. A green arched stable with leaf-like ribs and a gold star hanging at the center shelters the Holy Family and two resting animals, each piece glazed in glossy color.

Creative Co-Op makes the set in stoneware with a reactive glaze, so the colors pool and shift differently on every piece and each set varies from the next. The figures stand freely inside the arch, which leaves the arrangement to whoever is setting it out this year, whether that is a grandparent with a favorite spot or a child with strong opinions.
