Why You’ll Love It
This 1:12 scale porcelain companion doll was made by celebrated South African IGMA Fellow Diane Yunnie. Her sweet hand-painted porcelain face is framed by rich brown curls tucked beneath a coordinating blue bonnet trimmed with fine lace. She wears an elegant pale blue silk dress layered with intricate ivory lace, a matching sash, and coordinating blue shoes, creating the refined appearance of an heirloom Victorian companion doll.
This lovely little companion would make a delightful addition to a dollhouse nursery, child's bedroom, or fine artisan miniature 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
