Baby Girl Figurine Limoges Box, Year 2000 Numbered

A baby girl, modeled in porcelain to mark the turn of the millennium, gives this piece a clear place in time. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, and numbered as part of a limited edition of 750.

Born at the Millennium

The year 2000 felt like a fresh start for many families, and girls born that year arrived with a built-in story. Because this box carries the date, it serves as a record of that moment, something that can mark birthdays and milestones for the girl it was meant for.

A Daughter's Milestones

Sweet Sixteen to Wedding Day

A millennium baby is now grown, which opens up new ways to give this piece. It can mark a college graduation, a twenty-first birthday, an engagement or even the arrival of her own first baby. Many mothers choose to keep it on their own dresser as a reminder of the year their daughter arrived.

Collectors of dated porcelain enjoy pieces like this because the year anchors them. Placed beside a framed baby photo or a christening cup, it ties the whole display together around one special girl.
