Why You'll Love It

This playful and inventive ice cream scoop container by Tomo Tanaka of Nunu’s House showcases the whimsical side of master miniature craftsmanship. Sculpted to resemble a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream resting in a waffle cone cup, the piece is both decorative and functional—the top scoop lifts off as a lid, revealing a tiny storage container inside. The surface of the scoop is beautifully textured to mimic real ice cream, while the colorful polka-dot cup wrapper with smiling face detail adds a charming bakery-shop personality. Like many of Tanaka’s creations, the piece captures the delight of everyday treats with extraordinary realism, making it perfect for styling in a dollhouse ice cream parlor, on a miniature café counter, or within a cheerful bakery display.

Tomo Tanaka is internationally celebrated for his Nunu’s House miniature food creations, widely regarded among collectors as some of the most realistic and meticulously handcrafted miniature foods in the world. Each piece is sculpted entirely by hand using clay and mixed media, with careful attention given to color variation, texture, and proportion. Because his work is rarely distributed outside Japan, Tanaka’s creations are highly sought after on the secondary market.
