Coca-Cola Country
Coca-Cola Country
Coca-Cola Country is the title of a fabulous Lilliput Lane collection. Lilliput Lane was established in the United Kingdom in 1982 by Founder David Tate.
The UK-based company is well-known for its lovely handmade small-scale detailed replicas of cottages and buildings which look remarkably realistic.
In the early 1990s, "Americana" artist Ray Day created some limited-edition prints of nostalgic buildings that Tate found to be intrinsically charismatic.
Tate asked to purchase the prints from Ray Day because he wanted Lilliput Lane to reproduce the buildings as sculptures. Instead, it was agreed that Ray would create the sculptures for Lilliput Lane.
Ray’s first four pieces were released in June 1989 as the “American Landmarks” series. Pleased with the results, Lilliput Lane then completed a line of miniatures featuring the Coca-Cola brand in 1995.
This collection, titled "Coca-Cola Country" released by Enesco European Giftware, was a huge success and highly desired by collectors. The items in the collection were retired between 1999 and 2000.
Then in 2016, when Lilliput Lane closed its factory, the Coca-Cola Country collection increased in value. Collectibles And More In-Store carries the following collectible Coca-Cola Country miniatures:
