Why You’ll Love It
This exquisite 1:12 scale miniature porcelain doll and trousseau set was handcrafted by doll guild artisan Pat Boldt. The 2 ⅛” tall porcelain doll features delicately hand-painted facial details, styled blonde mohair curls, white lace undergarments, and tiny black boots. Her accompanying gold-toned metal presentation tin features a nostalgic lily of the valley floral design with decorative borders. The hinged case opens to reveal a cream fabric-lined interior with delicate pink trim, filled with miniature treasures including a lace-trimmed dress, decorative fans, paper dolls, tiny illustrated ephemera, and a miniature pocket watch. The carefully arranged accessories create a detailed antique-inspired doll's wardrobe and keepsake collection.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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