This is a gorgeous set of vintage French nativity ceramic fèves.
A féve literally translates as a fava bean. However in this context they are a small porcelain charm which is hidden inside the French Galette des Rois (king's cake) at Epiphany.
There is one in each cake and the person who finds the féve inside their cake is crowned king or queen for the day.
These vintage ones are highly collectable, especially the nativity pieces as they have generally been replaced now with more modern day pieces.
Each féve measures approx 3.5cms high (1.25")
