Why You’ll Love It
Fresh from the orchard in perfect miniature, this delightful 1:12 scale apple basket captures the warmth and abundance of autumn. Created exclusively for Magpie Miniatures by IGMA Artisan Gosia Suchodolska, it is piled high with hand-sculpted red apples, each one colored and finished individually for wonderfully realistic variation. Tiny stems, subtle striping, softly dimpled bottoms, and natural imperfections give the fruit an especially lifelike look, while a few green leaves tucked throughout enhance the just-picked feel.
Set in Gosia’s signature dark rustic handwoven basket with a high wrapped handle, this piece is part of Gosia’s Garden, our exclusive collaboration celebrating her remarkable botanicals, fruits and sweets. It is a charming example of how Gosia transforms simple natural subjects into finely observed works of miniature art.
Perfect for
Farmhouse kitchens, pantry shelves, orchard scenes, autumn displays, market vignettes, harvest tables, or collectors of artisan food miniatures.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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