Why You’ll Love It
Whimsical, enchanting, and beautifully detailed, this 1:12 scale blue butterfly ballerina bear is a charming miniature creation by celebrated artisan Anna Braun. Crafted from premium mohair in a lovely two-tone palette, the bear features jointed, soft cream head, arms, and legs paired with a rich royal blue leotard-style body. A full bright blue tulle tutu adds playful ballerina charm, while the translucent multicolor butterfly wings give the piece a magical storybook quality. Finished with tiny blue wire antennae, a delicate sheer bow, and Braun’s signature expressive face, this little bear is full of personality and collectible appeal.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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