Ceramic French Feves
$9.00
Made in France,
The French "fèves" are hand-painted porcelain or ceramic figurines. They are made to be put in the epiphany cake also called the king cake.
This is a tradition from France which happens every year on January 6th. Originally it's the day when the three wise men came to Bethlehem to honour baby Jesus.
The tradition in France is to bake a cake called the king cake and to insert the bean inside the cake. The person who finds the bean in his/her slice is the King/Queen of the day so they get a crown (usually made of cardboard).
More recently, the bean has been replaced by a ceramic or porcelain figurine.
