Most of his pieces average about 8 to 12 inches in height. If you happen to have some of his work, and they're now discontinued...if you want a particular piece I suggest you take a 2nd mortgage on your house [exaggeration of course, just kidding]! You see, the older they get, the more they're worth... people that sell them know they can rip you off! LOL In fact, the yearly new items are costly. But, Santas are my passion. I couldn't not have a Santa collection without a Jim Shore Santa. Trust me tho, if I want to keep food on the table and a sound marriage, I had to stop buying them. Here are a few Holiday Figurines I have. They are never packed away, they are out on showcase year 'round. [I also have the Jim Shore minis of Wizard of OZ characters...and the large wicked witch plus an angel and a bride. Oh and my favorite piece. It too is a mini! So, sit a spell, and peruse my Jim Shore collection for the Christmas season.

...and then my favorite Christmas piece. It has nothing to do with Santa at all. It is a character from Dickens' Christmas Carol. SCROOGE!! But, it's more than just a figurine. It's actually TWO in one. It's two-sided. One side is Scrooge the miser. The other side is Scrooge after his dealing with the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future!! Small in size but big in character[s]! I can hold the piece in the palm of my hand...
What a great collection. I don't have any but I've always admired the Jim Shore items on display in the stores. I have a friend who collects Jim Shore items
ReplyDeleteI just had to stop buying them. Too expensive.
DeleteThey are all fabulous! Jim Shore is a master!
ReplyDeleteThat, he is
DeleteI have never seen any of these or his name, but then i don't browse in stores that would have them. they are so beautiful. my favorite is the santa on the polar bear delivery wishes... that scrooge is awesome, even amazing fits. i love it... i don't remember ever seeing this collection here before. there are some things that must be left out year round. these sure fit.
ReplyDeleteThat is just part of the Santa (on the polar bear) the back side has a penguin with Santa's bag.
