Why You’ll Love It
This exquisite 1:12 scale miniature porcelain doll and trousseau was handcrafted by renowned Spanish artisan Maria Victoria Heredia Guerbos. Inspired by antique French mignonette presentation sets, the tiny 1 ⅜” tall doll features delicately painted facial details, blonde curls, and a finely pleated white dress with miniature blue-and-green floral embroidery, lace trim, and tiny pink shoes. She wears a small straw-style hat decorated with blue ribbon and pink flowers. The coordinating ivory paper presentation box features a folded hinged lid with a nostalgic Victorian illustration and contains an assortment of miniature baby accessories, including a lace-trimmed bonnet, baby bottle, tiny garments, and additional delicate nursery essentials arranged inside.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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