Why You'll Love It
This beautifully detailed bread basket by Tomo Tanaka (Nunu’s House) captures the abundance of a traditional bakery in 1:12 scale. A finely woven tray holds six hand-sculpted breads—rustic loaves, boules, and a delicate bolillo—each with realistic texture and golden color.
Set on a simple display block, it evokes freshly baked bread at market. Perfect for a bakery counter, farmhouse kitchen, or café vignette.
Tomo Tanaka is internationally renowned for hyper-realistic miniature food scenes, among the finest in the world. His work is entirely hand-sculpted and rarely distributed outside Japan, making each piece highly sought after by collectors.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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