Why You’ll Love It
This playful Halloween miniature by Bridget McCarty features a fuzzy black kitten popping out of a hand-sculpted orange jack-o’-lantern. Bright yellow eyes, delicate white whiskers, and a curling tail give the kitten plenty of personality, while the pumpkin’s crooked painted grin adds classic vintage Halloween charm. The pumpkin lid sits jauntily atop the kitten’s head, completing this wonderfully whimsical display piece.
Perfect for: Halloween dollhouses, haunted porches, witch’s cottages, pumpkin patches, spooky nurseries, black cat collections, and Bridget McCarty collections.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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