These are actually French Feves or King Cake Baby Doll Charms or Prizes. But they have dozens of uses; doll house miniatures, fairy gardens, shadow boxes, mosaics, memory jugs, jewelry, cupcake toppers, pinata prizes...you are only limited by your creativity.

Made from Porcelain. Amazingly strong - designed to be baked into a cake! Wonderful detail for something so small. Most feves are under 1.5" tall. Photos are extreme close-ups ...the feves will look even better from a normal distance!

Feves (French for “bean”) are tiny figurines that are made to be put inside a "King's Cake" for the "Epiphany" Holiday, which is celebrated every year on January 6th, the 12th day of Christmas. Tradition states that this is the day that the three wise men or "Three Kings" came to Bethlehem, to honor the birth of Christ. Traditionally it was a fava bean that was placed inside the cake. Whoever finds the feve in his or her slice of cake, is king for the day. SInce it was good luck to get the feve in your cake - these little items were saved and treasured.

In the 1870s the bean was replaced with small porcelain figurines; good luck charms, religious figures, saints etc, and a collecting craze was begun! The oldest feves were porcelain. As the years sped by, designs became more elaborate; different glazes were used, they were hand painted or gilded. Following WWI, due to supply shortages, plastic feves were made. Now this tradition of Feve production and collecting has been completely commercialized, and there is a vast assortment of porcelain, plastic and metal figures that are made. A lot of the newest feves are sold in series – more for collecting than for actually placing in cakes. Designs include everything from Harry Potter and Disney to the high fashion shoes and purses. Collecting Feves is very popular in France. The series are generally only produced for a single year.

All the newer feves (1980 and newer) are food safe, by European Standards, which are stricter than US food safety laws.

Anything labeled as a "vintage" feve - is questionable. Many of these older feves were made by smaller bakeries or businesses and it is unknown if they used lead-free glaze. Even though the lead from a tiny feve would be miniscule, I would probably not bake with the vintage feves.

Absolutely - Many collectors use them for just that purpose. However this isn't what they were originally designed for, so please check the ruler and size carefully; some feves are better for 1/12 scale and others for 1/6 scale. If you do buy something only to discover that the scale is off, no worries - everything is returnable.

Two cautions:
1)These are small and definitely a choking hazard for small children. Not suitable for small children.
2) If you are introducing the King Cake tradition, and hiding a feve inside - make certain everyone knows there is a tiny, NOT TO BE EATEN treasure hidden inside. You don't want a guest to unknowingly chomp down on a feve or choke.

No! You have paid me for the item, and that is the price I am required by law to put on the customs forms. I can include a gift receipt inside the package, but the cost of the item must be included on the customs documents. There is a lot of confusion about this, but the law is clear. Even if you have purchased the item as a gift for your cousin in Peru, the seller must put the purchased cost of that item on the documents.

The feves are placed in a ziploc bag, wrapped in tissue and shipped in a super sturdy box. Most orders come in white "Indestructo" double walled boxes that you can literally stand on! I have shipped over 75,000 orders and these boxes are awesome. My regular customers get excited when they recognize one of my boxes in their mailbox! Very large or retail orders will ship in heavy duty cardboard boxes.

Occasionally the shipping calculator for international shipping charges increases too rapidly. Unless you are buying 100s of feves, the shipping price will almost always be under $25. If you over pay by more than $2 over the actual shipping cost - I will refund you! If you want to confirm actual shipping costs before you place your order - feel free to send me an email asking for a shipping total ( please send me a list of what you intend to buy - I have no way to view what's in your cart)

As the buyer, you are responsible for paying any customs charges, duties or taxes on your package. I have no way of knowing what these amounts will be. If you refuse the package because of these charges, I will follow your countries laws regarding refunding you. But I will not ship to you again. As a small business owner, I simply can not afford to run a business like this.
