Why You’ll Love It
Graceful and romantic, this breathtaking 1:12 scale porcelain doll WAS created by renowned miniature artist Dana Burton. She is made of finely hand-painted porcelain in a fixed pose. I adore her delicately painted lips, and lifelike eyes. An elegant blonde hairstyle swept into a Gibson Girl-chignon, accented with a hair ornament made of roses and lace. Her richly layered gown is a beautiful interpretation of late Victorian and Belle Époque fashion. Crafted from fine taupe-bronze silk, the fitted bodice is softened with delicate white lace at the neckline and sleeves, while the skirt is adorned with cascading candy-striped pink silk ruffles, lace trim, and pale aqua silk underskirts . Long white opera gloves and a sparkling rhinestone choker with a drop pendant complete her ensemble.
She would look lovely in a grand Victorian drawing room or elegant parlor.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
