Why You'll Love It
Celebrate femininity with this pairing: a vase of roses and a matching nosegay! This girly duo was handmade by N.A.M.E. Artist Arlene Bellinger and dates back to the 1980s. The floral arrangement features pink and silk ribbon roses with greenery and real dried baby's breath. It's presented in a whimsical white porcelain vase shaped like a Victorian ladies' shoe. The coordinating nosegay is also included.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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