Why You’ll Love It
This is a sweet grandfather figure by renowned British IGMA artist Jain Squires of The Giddy Kipper. He has an expressive face, raised brows, thoughtful gaze, and realistic wrinkles. He looks like a man caught in the middle of an important task, perhaps tending a garden, baking a family recipe, or even stocking shelves in a village shop. He has movable arms and legs for natural posing.
Expertly hand-sculpted from clay, he features a partially bald head, a neatly groomed white mustache, and delicate wire-framed spectacles. He is dressed in a textured brown knit vest layered over a cream collared shirt with a brown necktie, brown corduroy trousers, and plaid house slippers. The standout detail is his cheerful floral half-apron with a working front pocket.
Perfect for a cottage kitchen, bakery, village shop, garden shed, grandfather's workshop or a family 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
