Why You’ll Love It
This exceptional pair of 1:12 scale porcelain urns was handcrafted by acclaimed American artisan Vince Stapleton, an IGMA Fellow celebrated for his museum-quality European-inspired porcelain miniatures. Dated 1995, these rare matching urns have a refined Neoclassical design. Each footed urn features a rich cobalt blue glazed body highlighted by a delicate band of 22-karat gold trim, resting upon an elegant white pedestal base. Each vessel has an unusual sculptural rim composed of cascading grape clusters and overlapping grapevine leaves, meticulously hand-applied in fine white porcelain.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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