Why You’ll Love It
Inspired by antique Meissen porcelain, this elegant retired 2015 Randall Zadar miniature titled “Custom Base” was created as piece 1 of 6 in his celebrated Porcelain Set. Delicately sculpted with flowing rococo scrollwork, tiny floral accents, and soft pale blue enamel, it was designed to display the remaining figures from the set. Hand numbered 23/50 and designated #230 of Zadar’s creations, it was crafted through the ancient lost wax bronze casting process, beginning as a hand-sculpted wax original before being individually cast and meticulously hand finished. A beautiful standalone display piece for a refined dollhouse vignette.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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