Precious Moments 679860 Appraisal

Precious Moments Porcelain Figurine (Item #679860)

This is a vintage Enesco Corporation porcelain bisque figurine from the 'Precious Moments' collection, preserved in its original retail packaging. The item, designated by model number 679860, depicts a young girl seated in a chair, cradling a pet while working at a computer, reflecting a late 20th-century aesthetic. The box art displays the iconic large-eyed, soft-featured illustrations characteristic of Samuel J. Butcher's work. The packaging is a pale lavender and white corrugated cardboard box featuring a repetitive pattern of angels. A central yellow identification label provides the brand name, a line drawing of the figurine, and the Enesco logo. Based on the label, the item was manufactured in China in 1999, placing it in the later catalog of the original Enesco run. The craftsmanship reflects the standard mass-market porcelain quality of the era with a matte finish. Regarding condition, the box shows minor shelf wear, slight corner blunting, and some light discoloration of the yellow label, particularly around the edges, which is common for adhesive labels of this age. The presence of the original box significantly enhances its collectibility within the secondary market for Precious Moments enthusiasts.
