Why You’ll Love It
This diminutive 1:12 scale porcelain bowl by Teresa Welch has been hand-painted with extraordinary care. It features an ivory background framed by a delicate green lattice pattern, accented with blush pink floral motifs and fine gilt edging along the rim.
Signed and dated 1977, this bowl represents Welch’s early porcelain work. Perfect as a decorative bowl, it lends itself beautifully to use on a miniature dining table, within a china cabinet, or as part of a layered tabletop place setting alongside coordinating plates and saucers.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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