Why You’ll Love It
This exceptional 1:12 scale harvest basket is a collaborative work by miniature artisans Janet Uyetake and Al Chandronnait. The overflowing arrangement features meticulously hand-sculpted clusters of green, red, and dark purple grapes by Janet Uyetake, complete with tiny stems, tendrils, and natural variations in color. The grapes are arranged inside a finely crafted wooden bushel basket by Al Chandronnait, creating a remarkably realistic miniature harvest scene. The piece is signed on the underside and dated 2001.
Perfect for
Harvest scenes, vineyard displays, farmhouse kitchens, market vignettes, autumn settings, wine cellar scenes, and fine miniature food 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
