Why You’ll Love It
This dollhouse doll tells an emotional story... it stands as a touching reminder that childhood memories often remain with us long after we've grown up. She was hand-sculpted from clay by the talented artist Doris Tussing of Vienna.
Elegantly dressed in a sophisticated black coat trimmed with a luxurious faux-fur collar, a refined older lady that is every bit the picture of grace. Yet nestled securely in her arms is not an expensive handbag or treasured jewel... but a sweet little teddy bear, dressed in a tiny knit outfit. She has softly styled white hair and manicured red nails. She completes her fashionable ensemble with a dramatic feathered black hat, fishnet stockings, classic black heels, elegant earrings. In one of her hands, she carries a handbag, and a pair of ivory leather glove.
A nostalgic doll ready to display in a nursery, toy shop, children's bedroom or attic scene.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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