Why You’ll Love It
A wonderfully expressive one-of-a-kind butcher figure by celebrated German artisan Gudrun Kolenda, this delightfully tubby gentleman is sculpted in clay with a warm, humorous look on his face that brings instant personality to a scene. He wears tiny spectacles, a classic butcher’s apron, textured wool trousers, and well-worn leather shoes, while holding his raised cleaver with theatrical charm. His softly rounded features and poseable arms make him feel lively and approachable. He is perfect behind a shop counter, in a village market, or as a storytelling focal point in a kitchen vignette.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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