Why You’ll Love It
This delightful 1:12 scale porcelain companion doll, "Noelle," was created by IGMA Fellow Diane Yunnie of South Africa. Designed to become a treasured companion for a dollhouse child doll, Noelle features beautifully painted porcelain features, soft curly blonde hair, and movable arms and legs for gentle posing. She is exquisitely dressed in an elegant all-silk Victorian ensemble, complete with a rich burgundy overcoat trimmed in gold braid, gleaming gold buttons, a layered cream ruffled dress, coordinating bonnet, and matching shoes.
A wonderful doll to display in a Victorian nursery, tucked into a dollhouse child's arms, or showcased as part of an artisan miniature doll collection.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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