This little silver statue is a vintage Manneken Pis souvenir from Brussels, and it was made around 1980. Even after more than 40 years, it’s held up incredibly well and is still in near mint condition. Standing just about 3 inches tall, it’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but it has plenty of charm to make it stand out on a shelf or desk. The silver finish gives it a classic look, and you can still read the “Bruxelles Manneken Pis” inscriptions on the base, which ties it right back to its Belgian roots. These types of figurines were classic tourist souvenirs, often picked up by visitors as a playful reminder of their trip to Belgium’s capital.
The Manneken Pis itself is an iconic symbol of Brussels—a little boy statue that’s been amusing locals and tourists for centuries with its cheeky pose. The original statue in Brussels dates all the way back to the early 17th century and has become one of the most photographed sights in the city. Because this collectible is from 1980, it’s now considered vintage, and finding one in near mint condition is surprisingly rare. Many people bought these as light-hearted keepsakes, but not many managed to keep them in such good shape over the years. Collectors and fans of European souvenirs love these for their nostalgia and quirky sense of humor. Whether you’re into history, travel memorabilia, or just want a one-of-a-kind conversation starter, this little Belgian boy brings a touch of old-world charm right to your home.
