Why You’ll Love It
This delightful pair of OOAK artisan breakfast vignettes by late IGMA Artisan Al Chandronnait captures the comforting rituals of a slow morning. One vignette features a charming tea service with a vintage red kettle, Twinings tea tin, tiny Walkers Shortbread packages, and a white mug arranged atop a blue-and-white checked cloth. The companion vignette depicts fresh sugar-dusted donuts being prepared, complete with a miniature fryer basket, bubbling oil, parchment paper, potatoes, and a single egg awaiting its turn in the recipe. Perfect for a country kitchen, bakery, breakfast nook, or food-themed display.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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