Why You'll Love It
This is a tiny replica in miniature, made of hand-sculpted porcelain, which has been hand-painted. It depicts an antique 18th-century French style figurine of a woman seated on a grassy base. She is wearing a summery white dress with blue and floral accents, a red corset and a lovely coordinating hat rests on her hear. She is holding a dark bowl, as if she had taken a moment of pause, mid-chore. It is a rare, one-of-a-kind miniature porcelain figurine by esteemed English artisan Tricia Street. Hand-sculpted and hand-painted, this piece recalls the theatrical grace of Meissen and Dresden porcelain figures, translated here into an exquisitely scaled dollhouse miniature. This piece displays beautifully on a pedestal, in a formal salon or music room, or paired with other Tricia Street figures to create a refined narrative 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
