Why You’ll Love It
This strange and curious gothic baby doll in a box was handcrafted by GT Shaw in 2016. The tiny figure is the eerie opposite of a pretty, polished porcelain doll, with a skeletal face, long wild hair, and a timeworn appearance. Permanently enclosed inside a rustic wooden display "gift box", she is surrounded by tiny real shells and dark, mysterious details. The sealed presentation gives the piece the feeling of an unsettling artifact discovered in an old cabinet of curiosities, perfect for adding an unusual and wonderfully creepy focal point to a miniature scene.
Perfect for: Cabinets of curiosities, witch shops, haunted nurseries or attics, gothic dollhouses, apothecaries, Halloween scenes, and toy shops.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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