Why You’ll Love It
This delightful character doll by Jain Squires of The Giddy Kipper perfectly captures the spirit of an older gardener with a twinkle in his eye for his beloved plants. He has a gentle smiling face, rosy cheeks, wire-rimmed spectacles, and a carefully applied white mustache. Dressed in practical gardening attire, he wears tan trousers and a matching tan and gray plaid shirt beneath a work apron. A burgundy ascot and brown flat cap. In his moveable arms, he is cradling a tiny terracotta flowerpot.
Perfect for a greenhouse, potting shed, cottage garden, florist shop, or village scene.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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