One of the “Original 21” figurines of the Precious Moments collection, the artwork of the young boy and girl sitting on the stump has become one of the most recognizable Precious Moments images
Precious Moments founding artist Samuel J. Butcher’s artwork has always been inspired by faith, family, and friends. In 1978, the Original 21 Precious Moments figurines were released to worldwide acclaim and a new collecting and 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. While Precious Moments has evolved with the times, we remain true to Mr. Butcher’s aspiration to make the word a kinder place by helping people share love.
