Why You’ll Love It
This charming 1:12 scale all-bisque porcelain pocket doll was handcrafted by miniature artisan Pat Boldt, inspired by antique German bisque dolls of the late 19th century. Measuring just ⅞” tall in her seated position, the tiny doll features delicately hand-painted facial details, rosy cheeks, and sculpted blonde hair accented with two oversized bows. Her beautifully tailored olive green silk dress features short ruffled sleeves, a gathered skirt with delicate trim, and a prominent cream lace bow collar. Tiny black painted shoes complete her antique-inspired appearance. Designed in a permanent seated position, this petite companion doll is perfectly proportioned as a toy for a child within a 1:12 scale dollhouse.
Perfect For
A Victorian or Edwardian nursery, antique doll shop, dollhouse child's toy collection, miniature mantelpiece, nursery shelf, or a vintage toy chest filled with artisan pocket dolls.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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