Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE PRECIOUS MOMENTS FIGURINE LORD PLEASE DON’T PUT ME ON HOLD #PM982 WITH BOX & TAGS. This auction is for a Precious Moments porcelain bisque figurine by Enesco. It is item #PM982, a 1998 Members Only Figurine entitled, ‘Lord Please Don’t Put Me on Hold.’ Copyrighted in 1997, made in Indonesia. An adorable curly blonde haired girl wearing a long pink dress is standing next to a payphone. She is shedding a tear as she is attempting to make a phone call. The telephone booth is blue, labeled with the word TELEPHONE on the side with a small blue bird perched on the top, watching the girl. The figurine measures 5 ½” high x 4” long x 2 ¾” deep and weighs 11 ounces unpackaged. Cards are included. Precious Moments founding artist Samuel J. Butcher’s artwork has always been inspired by faith, family, and friends. His soulful illustrations of children with teardrop-shaped eyes were first featured on popular greeting cards. When Mr. Butcher saw the first sample of a Precious Moments figurine more than 40 years ago he was awestruck. The sculptor had captured the very essence of Mr. Butcher’s iconic Precious Moments artwork Love One Another and had brought it to life. In that moment, one of this humble artist’s dreams had come true. In 1978, the original 21 Precious Moments figurines were released to worldwide acclaim and a new collecting/gift-giving tradition was born. Around the world, Precious Moments became known for its beautiful, hand-painted porcelain bisque figurines featuring children with captivating teardrop-shaped eyes and their heartwarming messages of love, caring, and sharing. Sam attributes his remarkable talent to a gift from God, and he finds inspiration for many of his subjects in the Bible and in Nature. The Enesco Precious Moments Collection beautifully interprets Sam’s inspired illustrations in fine collectibles, each an exquisite tribute both to the artist and to the inspiration that will reach out and change your life forever. (SEE IMAGES). It is in excellent condition with no chips/cracks/crackling and the original box and two cards are included. Shipping is $7 within the U.S. only.
