Why You’ll Love It
Whimsical and beautifully handcrafted, this OOAK 1:12 scale fairy ballerina teddy bear is an original miniature by celebrated artisan Anna Braun. Made from soft golden mohair, this tiny bear is dressed for a magical performance in a blue lace tutu with a matching blue bodice. Delicate fabric fairy wings, a coordinating head bow, and slender blue-tipped antennae transform her into a charming storybook creature. Braun’s expressive hand-finished face and petite proportions give the piece the heirloom character that makes her miniature animals so collectible.
Perfect for
She is perfect for a dollhouse nursery, child’s bedroom, ballet studio, fairy garden, fantasy vignette, or whimsical toy shop. She would also make a delightful addition to an artist bear collection or a magical miniature 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
