Why You’ll Love It
This sweet and gentle 1:12 scale doll and her toy bunny rabbit, both in tutus, brings together the extraordinary talents of Irina Martin of Germany (doll) and Anna Braun of South Africa (bunny). Irina Martin's lifelike little girl is hand-sculpted from clay and meticulously hand-painted with a pouty, solemn expression. She wears a delicate pale pink hand knit sweater paired with an airy ivory tulle skirt, coordinating pink knit leg warmers over a pair of white knit tights, and tiny pink ballet shoes. Her chestnut bob is finished with a petite pink bow. Nestled in her arm is her companion - a pouty ballerina toy bunny rabbit handcrafted by renowned South African miniature artist Anna Braun. Complete with floppy ears, a tiny pink tutu and matching bow.
Together, these two artisan creations make an endearing pair that would become the centerpiece of any nursery, bedroom, or ballet class display.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
