Why You'll Love Him
This joyful OOAK “Grandpa” doll by Sharon Cariola (2018) is a finely sculpted clay character over a wire armature. He features a warm, toothy smile, long white mustache and beard, and a braided waist-length hairstyle beneath a black cap.
Dressed in a vest, gray slacks, and hand-sculpted shoes, with slightly poseable arms, he’s perfect for a study, tea room, antique shop, or workshop 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
