Why You’ll Love It
A wonderfully playful Randall Zadar scene filled with storytelling charm, “The One That Got Away” captures a young fisherman leaning forward in suspense while his loyal dog watches nearby as a fish surfaces from the swirling water below. Tiny details like the bucket, fishing rod, tackle box, and rippling pond create a complete miniature world. Part of Zadar’s beloved Lee Series, this original studio design was inspired by a real fishing experience and debuted at Collectorfest 2001. Produced as #62 of Zadar’s creations, this permanently retired piece was limited to only 57 examples, making it an exceptionally scarce miniature treasure.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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