Why You’ll Love It
A wonderfully whimsical OOAK mermaid masthead sculpture by Mark & Sharon Stockton, featuring a serene hand-painted figure with flowing hair and a delicate golden crown. Inspired by classic maritime figureheads, this sculptural piece blends nautical charm with folk-art character and carries the personality of a tiny seafaring treasure. Signed by the artists on the reverse, dated 2002 and inscribed as #1.
Display mounted aboard a ship scene, or on the wall within a captain’s study, seaside cottage, or perhaps a curiosity or nautical vignette.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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