Why You’ll Love It
‘Madori’ is a refined one-of-a-kind seated Geisha doll by renowned IGMA artist Tish Tierney, exquisitely handcrafted with a serene presence and exceptional attention to detail. Her softly modeled porcelain face features delicate hand-painted brows, gentle pink shadowed eyes, and classic red lips, framed by a traditional black coiffure adorned with tiny roses and hair ornaments. She wears an elegant black kimono patterned in shimmering gold motifs, lined in pale silk and cinched with a striking pink and black obi tied at the back. In her hand she holds a miniature pink paper parasol, adding a graceful note of movement and storytelling. Her fixed seated pose would showcase beautifully in a Japanese interior or garden tea scene.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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