Prayer Figurine Appraisal

Snowbabies 'Our Silent Prayer'

This item is a Snowbabies figurine set titled 'Our Silent Prayer,' presented in its original dark green retail box. The box features the 'Snowbabies' logo prominently on the lid and includes a poem or descriptive text. The figurine itself depicts two Snowbabies figures, appearing to be made of bisque porcelain or a similar ceramic material with a textured, snow-like finish, often characteristic of Snowbabies. They are seated closely together on a white base which simulates snow-covered ground, possibly a sled or bench. One Snowbaby is notably larger, seated behind the smaller one, with its arm around approximately where the smaller one's shoulder would be. The figures are predominantly white with subtle accents, and they likely have a glittery or crystalline coating to enhance the snow effect. A golden, elliptical ornament with an unknown inscription is visible between the two figures, possibly being held by one or both. The background inside the box appears to be dark green, suggesting a nighttime or indoor winter scene, accented with white speckles resembling falling snow. A 'DESICCANT PAK' (moisture absorber) is clearly visible, tucked next to the figures, indicating the careful packaging of the item. The product appears to be in its original packaging, suggesting it is either new old stock (NOS) or very well-preserved. There are no immediate visible signs of damage, chips, or repairs to the figures, and the box itself looks to be in good condition, with sharp corners and clean graphics. This item belongs to a collectible series known for its whimsical winter themes and delicate craftsmanship, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century.
