Why You’ll Love It
This miniature porcelain sculpture captures the extraordinary talent of celebrated Spanish artisan Maria Victoria Heredia Guerbos. Measuring less than an inch tall, a sweet little girl figure with delicately sculpted blonde curls, softly blushed cheeks, and outstretched arms is seated. Cradled in one arm is a tiny woven basket overflowing with microscopic pink roses, while the other hand holds an equally tiny Victorian-style doll dressed in pink. She sits amid a romantic garden setting of moss, bright yellow daffodils and delicate pink blossoms climbing around the base and continuing up the reverse side. Mounted on a brass display base, it is gorgeous at every angle.
Perfect for displaying in a nursery, child's bedroom, Victorian dollhouse, French cottage, garden room, fairy-tale vignette, or alongside other antique style miniatures.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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