I have seen many nativity scenes, but these are different.
These have been built inside a purposedly broken “damigiana” (demijohn), a typical large wine container, usually enclosed in wickerwork.

Yes, very unusual. It's amazing what human creativity can find do!
That is very creative. My wife would love these. Nice find.
Merry Christmas.
Those are interesting! I've never seen nativity scenes inside a wine bottle before now!
You're right, I've never seen one like this before! But it is beautifully crafted, I like it! Does it light up?
Just wanted to wish you a merry christmas!
merry christmas Vogon Poet!I love the uniqueness of the nativity scenes. amazing. :)
If there's electricity involved, let's hope it doesn't get too warm in there behind the glass...
It's so different and beautiful!Thanks so much for sharing!
Hugs
Léia :)
very unique. I also loved your photo yesterday. Happy Holidays!
This is unique art with many nice details.
I thought the top one was nativity in a motorcycle helmet, until you explained - how clever.
Merry Xmas!
I'm laaaaaate, sorry. Buon Natale or rather I hope you have had a good one! These are really cool, even though I'm not much of a Nativity scene fan.
I can thing of more useful things inside of the damamjiana. Like wine to go with the heavy Christmas dinner :) But these are much more beautiful. It is creative - but not as much as building the whole scene inside without breaking the glass :) Lovely decoration. Merry Christmas!
Lovely and creative! I love the broken glass...
Have you seen the mini-presepi built inside a half nutshell? It was a first for me too.
Happy holidays!

Very interesting and pretty!
How beautiful! And so patient to make such tiny figurines for them. This is something that I wouldn't mind collecting at all.
Wonderful works of art and of devotion!
Amazing!
Happy Holidays.
It is interesting !!
I want to buy a bottle of
Nativity Scene.
these are amazing.
I have to say I didn't see something like this before, they are lovely. Btw we have the word "damigiana" too, imported from Italian of course, just that in Romanian we spell it with an e insted of the second i : damigeană. In Romanian damigenă are usually covered in wicker or other wooden materials or plastic. I guess that's true for Italian damigianas too.
I also want to send you all my best wishes. I am a little late for Christmas but the winter holidays are not over yet, so I wish you a happy holiday season. This is a great blog and I'll keep stopping by as long as you decide to keep posting.
Yes, these are different! I wonder what happens when you plug in the cord? I love the background wiht the wood door and column. I'd love to be in Italy right now. Merry Christmas!
They are pretty cool! I've never seen one like these.
WOW! They're certainly unusual.
