Why You’ll Love It
Meet Lotte, a distinctive 1:12 scale character doll portraying an 18th-century prostitute, handcrafted by Jo Medvenics (Jo Med) of Pocket Pygmies. Sculpted from polymer clay and individually hand-painted, Lotte features an expressive, mischievous smile, rosy cheeks, and auburn hair styled in a swept-up coiffure. Her carefully tailored 18th-century-inspired floral gown features a fitted bodice with tiny red buttons, a low square neckline, three-quarter sleeves, and an open-front skirt revealing a dark plum petticoat. A black ribbon choker and black lace-up boots complete her ensemble. Her confident, hand-on-hip pose showcases her personality perfectly.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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