Why You’ll Love It
A mouthwatering taste of summer in miniature! This one-of-a-kind food vignette was handcrafted by talented British miniature food artist and IGMA Fellow Linda Cummings. An elongated rustic wooden serving board is laden with hand-sculpted watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew, whole, halved, and freshly sliced, with a tiny knife resting alongside. Dated 2021.
Perfect for a miniature kitchen counter, summer picnic in the garden, bustling market stall, or farmhouse table, this colorful little scene brings an irresistible touch of seasonal abundance to any dollhouse setting.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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