Why You’ll Love It
Named Melody, this beautiful young woman was handcrafted by celebrated Lithuanian miniature artist Agne Mikalauskiene of CosyDolls. Sculpted from clay with delicate hand-painted features, she has shoulder-length ginger curls topped with a pale blue bow and wears wonderfully detailed handmade overalls, a knitted sweater, and tiny leather boots. She carries a leather purse and a paper-wrapped bouquet of flowers, while her accompanying woven basket is lined with newsprint and filled with individually sculpted loaves of bread. Her arms and legs are bendable for natural posing, and she comes with a removable stand and signed 2024 Certificate of Authenticity.
Perfect for: contemporary dollhouses, cottage kitchens, bakery scenes, farmers markets, spring gardens, CosyDolls collections, character vignettes, and artisan doll 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
