Thomas Kinkade Teleflora 2015 - Country Christmas Homecoming House

Description

Bring a traditional winter scene to your Christmas display with the 2015 Thomas Kinkade Country Christmas Homecoming house from Teleflora. Originally offered as the keepsake centerpiece of a holiday floral arrangement, this hand-sculpted, hand-painted resin collectible features battery-operated lighting and an on/off switch. Teleflora introduced it alongside the release of the Country Christmas Homecoming painting.

Identifying scene details

Look for a snow-covered cottage with a blue front door, a decorated Christmas tree topped with a gold star, snow-covered evergreens and a lamppost beside the front walkway. Small winter figures and a freshly cut Christmas tree complete the homecoming scene, while glittered snow adds sparkle to the roof and surrounding landscape. These details help distinguish the 2015 piece from other Teleflora Kinkade cottages.

Dimensions and power requirements

• Dimensions: 6½ inches high × 7¼ inches wide × 6 inches deep, as listed in Teleflora’s original catalog. These are the keepsake’s dimensions; the complete floral arrangement was larger.

• Material: Hand-sculpted, hand-painted resin.

• Lighting: Battery-operated lights controlled by an on/off switch. Starter batteries were included when originally supplied.

• Battery size: Used examples are consistently described as requiring two AA batteries. Confirm the markings inside the battery compartment before installation; Teleflora’s catalog does not state the battery size.

Checklist for buying a used example

Before purchasing, ask the seller for clear photographs of the actual piece, including its underside and open battery compartment.

• Confirm its identity: Check the underside label for the Country Christmas Homecoming name, Teleflora branding and any year markings.

• Request a lighting test: Ask for a recent photo or short video showing the house illuminated with fresh batteries and the switch working.

• Inspect the battery compartment: Look for corrosion, battery leakage, damaged contacts and a missing or broken cover.

• Check fragile details: Examine the tree’s gold star, lamppost, figures, tree branches, chimney and roof edges for breaks or glued repairs.

• Review the finish: Look for chipped paint, cracks, discoloration and worn glitter or snow decoration.

• Confirm what is included: Ask about the original box and floral accessories. Teleflora originally supplied a liner dish and adapter spike; this catalog term should not be taken to mean an electrical power adapter.

• Check shipping protection: Ask the seller to cushion projecting details and pack the piece securely so it cannot shift in transit.

Compare condition and included accessories when choosing between listings. An untested house should be treated as having unverified lighting, even when its exterior looks clean.
