Why You’ll Love It
This elegant 1:12 scale porcelain lady doll, named Aino, was created by Minna Miniatures of Finland. The blonde lady wears a Rococo-inspired gown in pale blue floral fabric, richly layered with fine white lace, netting, ribbon bows, and coordinating trim. Her elaborate period hairstyle is accented with strands of tiny pearls and a soft blue feather, while a pearl necklace completes her formal appearance. Aino has a delicately painted face and finely detailed costume.
She is well-suited for a formal salon, boudoir, ballroom, or other period interior. She comes with her signed Certificate of Authenticity and original storage box.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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