Why You'll Love It
This beautiful miniature hand-painted holiday tea set is a celebration of vintage porcelain artistry and festive refinement. The fifteen-piece collection is exquisitely hand-painted with a delicate holly and red berry design and finished with gold-gilt rims. Complete with service for two, it includes everything needed for a Christmas brunch in miniature — a lidded cookie jar, teapot, creamer, lidded sugar bowl, lidded tureen, two cups, two saucers, two small plates, two large plates, a serving bowl, and a round serving platter. Signed on the underside with the artist initials “SD.”
Styling
Arrange this charming tea set on a dollhouse dining table, in a Christmas breakfast scene, or within a curio cabinet to show off its intricate detailing. It pairs beautifully with holiday pastries, and miniature linens (our table and tablecloth are not included).

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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