Why You'll Love It
This charming duo pairs a beautifully opulent French Christmas cookie gift box created by the talented miniature artists of Coffre D’Emilie with a dainty porcelain plate topped with sculpted clay tart desserts. The French box features lush holiday florals, gilded garland, and an old-world storybook image, creating a tiny treasure overflowing with festive nostalgia. The accompanying tarts—each detailed with colorful fillings and sugar-glazed accents—add a delightful culinary touch with a warm handmade feel.
Perfect for decorating a holiday kitchen scene, a dollhouse dining room, a festive mantel, or tucked sweetly beside a miniature Christmas tree.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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