Why You’ll Love It
This 1:12 scale character doll by Irina Martin is an older woman in a casual at-home moment, complete with gray hair set in tiny pink rollers. Her hand-sculpted face features realistic age lines around the eyes and mouth, giving her the expressive, everyday look. She stands barefoot in a soft pink knee-length nightgown with delicate trim, layered beneath a white floral housecoat patterned with pink roses and green leaves. The robe is finished with wide lapels, turned-back cuffs, pale green edging, and lace trim along the hem. In one raised hand she holds a tiny miniature cigarette, adding another humorous, lived-in detail to her. Her bare feet and relaxed pose complete the informal morning-at-home look.
Her husband counterpart is listed separately.
Perfect for
A bedroom, dressing room, morning routine scene, humorous domestic vignette, vintage-inspired household, or character doll collection.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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