Why You’ll Love It
This wonderfully macabre artisan-crafted wooden crate by mother-daughter miniaturists Koni Coursien and Teresa Dudley is labeled for the City Morgue and its supply of “sterile and clean” body bags. Handcrafted in 1:12 scale, the permanently closed crate features convincing plank construction, tiny nail details, an aged label, and the corner of a black body bag peeking out from one side. Dated 2016, it makes an unusual and highly atmospheric prop for a spooky setting.
Perfect for: City morgues, funeral parlors, embalming rooms, Victorian medical scenes, haunted houses, gothic displays, Halloween dollhouses, and unusual artisan 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
