Why You'll Love It
This one-of-a-kind hand-sculpted clay miniature by renowned Tel Aviv artist Shay Aaron features a delicate berries-and-cream puff pastry, styled in the tradition of French mille-feuille. The dessert showcases multiple flaky pastry layers, filled with piped cream and finished with an assortment of sugared raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. A soft dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of honey complete the realistic presentation.
It is displayed on a clear acrylic pedestal cake stand and includes a matching removable domed cloche, perfect for miniature patisseries, tea tables, or elegant dessert scenes. Highly realistic and beautifully detailed—Shay Aaron’s work is prized and increasingly hard to find.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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