Why You'll Love It
Tel Aviv–based miniature artist Shay Aaron is renowned for his hyper-realistic food sculptures, and this one-of-a-kind piece showcases his mastery. A rustic wooden round serving board holds an irresistible spread of tiny breakfast pastries: layered chocolate croissants, freshly baked muffins and cream-topped pastries crowned with sculpted strawberries. Each piece is hand-formed clay and is arranged as a ready-to-serve breakfast board. Highly realistic and perfect for miniature kitchens, European bakery displays, or afternoon tea vignettes. His works are sought after and increasingly difficult to find.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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