Why You’ll Love It
A delightfully whimsical snowman vase surrounded by snowy evergreens, this retired 2015 Randall Zadar miniature combines holiday charm with extraordinary artisan detail. Hand-painted in cold-painted bronze enamel, the tiny snowman wears a black top hat, blue mittens, and red scarf beneath a scalloped vase top. #231 of Zadar’s creations, it is #23 of 50 ever made. Created through the ancient lost wax bronze casting process, each piece began as a hand-sculpted wax original before being individually cast and meticulously hand finished. A charming little shelf sitter for Christmas dollhouse scenes and winter vignettes.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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