Why You’ll Love It
This exquisite hand-sculpted and painted porcelain candy bowl was created by IGMA Fellows Teresa and Jean Welch and signed and dated 1996. Despite its petite size, the bowl is richly decorated with delicate dimensional sculpted roses that crown the scalloped rim, intricate hand-painted blue latticework, soft pink floral sprays, and elegant 22k gold accents.
Signed by both artists, this rare collaborative work showcases the meticulous porcelain artistry for which the Welch family is celebrated. Pieces jointly created by Teresa and Jean Welch are highly sought after by collectors, and this beautifully executed candy bowl is a wonderful example of their work.
Perfect for: Formal dining rooms, china cabinets, dessert tables, Victorian parlors, French Rococo interiors, and museum-quality porcelain collections.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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