Why You’ll Love It
Inspired by 19th-century German Mignonette dolls, this precious little 1:12 scale porcelain companion doll was made by Pat Boldt. Her delicately hand-painted porcelain face features fine single-stroke eyebrows, rosy cheeks, and tiny closed red lips. Framing her face is a cascade of soft dark blonde mohair, topped with a structured pink silk-taffeta hat. She is beautifully dressed in a pink silk dress with pleating, a beige lace collar, and a pink silk ribbon sash. White stockings and painted black slippers complete her authentically Victorian appearance.
Ready to display in the hands of a dollhouse child or showcased as part of an artisan doll collection in a nursery or toy shop 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
