Handmade and therefore unique, these nativity scene figurines are created at the Capelas Museum-Workshop, in the Azorean island of São Miguel. The workshop, developed by master Manuel João Melo, hosts 35 different crafts, including pottery. Two craftswomen are currently in charge of producing figurines; they carry on a legacy taken to the island by Vila Nova de Gaia potters, brought in to work at the Lagoa ceramics factories.
