Why You’ll Love It
This breathtaking OOAK porcelain lady doll by internationally recognized artist Dana Burton, created exclusively for Magpie Miniatures, captures the elegance of a grand Victorian-era society lady. Sculpted in fine porcelain and dressed in luxurious fabrics, she stands poised in a richly detailed gown of metallic peacock-blue brocade accented with warm gold. Her ensemble features delicate lace at the neckline, handmade floral accents, and a dramatic silk velvet shawl with fringe draped gracefully over her arms. Her beautifully styled auburn hair, and carefully chosen jewelry including a diamond-look ring and ornate necklace complete the portrait of a lady prepared for an evening at the opera or an elegant ballroom gathering. She would be a stunning focal point standing in a grand dollhouse salon, attending a miniature gala, or descending the staircase of a stately Victorian manor.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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