Why You’ll Love It
A beautifully intricate OOAK porcelain basket, this hand-sculpted piece features a finely woven form adorned with a delicate garland of yellow and blue flowers along the rim, each bloom accented with tiny green leaves and naturalistic detail. The open latticework and soft ivory tone give it an airy, almost lace-like quality, while the dimensional florals add a gentle touch of springtime charm. Signed and dated 1988, this miniature carries the quiet elegance of vintage European decorative porcelain, making it a graceful accent within any refined interior scene.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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