Why You’ll Love It
This elegant hand-painted Delft-style porcelain obelisk brings the refined sophistication of a grand European manor into miniature scale. Created by renowned Dutch artisan Henny Staring-Egberts, the piece draws inspiration from the decorative blue-and-white ceramics and architectural ornaments that adorned stately homes throughout the Netherlands and Europe. The tall, tapering obelisk is meticulously hand-painted with traditional cobalt-blue scrolling vines, floral motifs, and ornamental details over a crisp white glazed surface.
Perfect for displaying in a formal parlor, manor house library, sitting room, entry hall, conservatory, Dutch-inspired interior, grand estate, or traditional blue-and-white decorated room.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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