WHY YOU’LL LOVE HER: A darling little dumpling! This precious little all porcelain, hand painted miniature dollhouse doll baby girl. She is a one-of-a-kind creation by the Australian miniaturist, Maree Massey. Her dolls tend to be chubbier and heftier than other artisans, but this little doll is a wonderful and unusual smaller size, though technically 1:6th scale. She is a tummy-laying baby with jointed arms and legs. She has an incredibly detailed face with pretty blue eyes, full lips and rosy cheeks. She is dressed in a darling dress and diaper cover in a pale blue print with lace trim, and a hand knitted white bonnet.
STYLING: She would look darling in a nursery or any other scene involving family and childhood wonder.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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