Why You’ll Love It
This is a delightfully cheerful gardening lady dollhouse doll by Jain Squires of The Giddy Kipper. Hand-sculpted from clay, she features a wonderfully expressive face with a happy smile, and well-defined wrinkles. Her bright yellow polka-dot dress brings a fun burst of color, and is adorned with cream lace collar and cuffs, floral brooch, and rustic work apron. Beneath her straw sun hat, wispy white hair frames her face, giving her a delightfully realistic appearance.
Perfect for a greenhouse, cottage garden, potting shed, flower market, village scene, farmhouse kitchen or garden center.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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