Why You’ll Love It
Whimsical and romantic, this OOAK hand-painted porcelain tea service by Beate Wickert feels like a tiny garden caught mid-flight. A flutter of delicate butterflies in purple, yellow, orange, and soft lavender hues drifts across a luminous white porcelain ground, while gold-gilded borders add warmth and refinement. The cheerful palette feels airy and enchanting with a distinctly storybook charm. Perfect for a garden room, spring vignette, sunroom, or cottage-inspired display. This set includes 7 pieces: 1 round scalloped serving tray, 1 lidded teapot with lid, 2 teacups with matching saucers, 1 creamer pitcher, and 1 open sugar bowl.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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