Porcelain figurine titled 'Having a Good Ole Laugh' from Memories of Yesterday collection by Enesco

This figurine is part of the 'Memories of Yesterday' collection produced by Enesco beginning in 1988, based on the nostalgic illustrations of British artist Mabel Lucie Attwell (1879-1964). Attwell's charming depictions of chubby-cheeked children became iconic in early 20th-century Britain, appearing in postcards, books, and advertisements. The Enesco collection translated these beloved illustrations into three-dimensional porcelain figurines, capturing the innocent sweetness of childhood friendships. Memories of Yesterday figurines appeal to collectors of nostalgic decorative items, vintage porcelain enthusiasts, and admirers of Mabel Lucie Attwell's distinctive artistic style. These pieces are cherished for their sentimental value and craftsmanship, evoking a simpler, more innocent era. Collectors particularly value complete sets and limited editions from the 1990s production period, as the line was discontinued in the early 2000s, making these figurines increasingly sought after in the secondary market.
