Looking for Miss Piggy Porcelain Hinged Box

[Angela Prisco]

Please someone help! I'm a HUGE Miss Piggy fan and I have a collectible that just broke when I was moving. I'm very upset because I cannot find a replacement. I see they show this collectible but I don't see it for sale. It's the Miss Piggy Porcelain Hinged Box where she is in a bubble bath looking into the mirror in her hand. PLEASE let me know where I can buy one of these. Thanks!

Well, I know it's kinda obvious, but you can always find this on the internet. And if that fails, you can always go to an antique shop, flea market, or a store like a goodwill. don't know what else to tell you.

Hi Angela-

There are two different Miss Piggy bathtub porcelain boxes... and one is much harder to find than the other.

You can see both of them here:

The first, the Bernardaud one was released in 1996, and is much more difficult to find (and subsequently is more expensive). The second was released by Midwest of Canyon Falls in 1999. This one comes up on eBay relatively frequently, and generally goes for a lot less.

In fact, it looks like an auction ended a few weeks back with no bids:

Best of luck to you!

Thanks. The one I'm looking for is the one with Miss Piggy looking into the hand mirror while inside the tub. I have tried to search for it but to no avail. I will keep trying.

I found one online store selling it, but they're asking $150, which is WAAAAY overpriced:

If I were you, I would contact the eBay seller from that completed auction, and see if they still have it, and what they'd be willing to sell it to you for if they do. (If you have an eBay account, that is...) The starting bid was $9.99, and it ended with no bids, so hopefully they would sell it to you for a decent price.

Thanks I will do that!
