If you thought that Enesco*r began with Precious Moments*r, this book
will amaze you. Enesco is actually one of the oldest importing companies
in the United States, with a history dating back to the late 1800s.
Figural ceramic items imported from Japan in the 1950s and 1960s are
among today's top collectibles and Enesco imported many highly
collectible lines during this period, the most notable being
Mother-in-the-Kitchen, or Prayer Lady, as it is commonly called. This
book features a huge array of gift, collectible, and decorative items
sold by Enesco, including figurines, planters, kitchenware, bells,
banks, and head vases -- all shown with current market values. Early
lines like Beaver Dam*r, Dearie is Weary*r, Golden Girls*r, and Winkin'
Kitten*r are here, along with contemporary favorites like Country
Cousins*r, Human Beans*r, Cherished Teddies*r, Coral Kingdom*r, and of
course, Precious Moments*r. Also included is a useful chapter picturing
collectible lines from other importing companies. This book, which
contains over 1,000 pictures showing over 1,500 items, will help you
identify Enesco's popular keepsakes and will become a useful and
treasured addition to your collectibles library.
