Jim Shore for Enesco Disney Traditions Belle with Chip Figurine, 5.5-Inch

The entrancing star of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (1991), Belle has all the endearing qualities that touched the heart of both the prince-turned-Beast and audiences the world over. This graceful princess affectionately gazes at her treasured friend, Chip the teacup. As tiny as he is, this impish little boy in the enchanted form of a delightful demitasse —complete with his namesake chip in his brim—smiles adoringly back at his favorite princess. Both of these well-loved Disney characters are authentically portrayed but also given a fresh interpretation in the traditional style of acclaimed folk artist Jim Shore. The iconic gown of this beloved Disney princess—its fetching folds and ruffles splayed with a dainty glimpse of petticoat—is bedecked with ornamentations, including eye-pleasing elaborations based on a variety of folk-art forms such as quilting. Belle is elegantly seated on a charming base, boarded with a country-style motif made up of, most appropriately, hearts and flowers. This hand painted sculpture of the kind-hearted princess and her loveable friend—two of Disney’s most captivating characters— will be a treasured keepsake of love and devotion.
