Why You’ll Love It
This extraordinary hand-crafted porcelain footed cabinet plate by IGMA Fellow Teresa Welch is a museum-quality piece distinguished by its unusually large serving size and breathtaking decorative detail. Measuring an impressive 1¼ inches in diameter, the plate features an elegant pierced rim adorned with dimensional sculpted roses, hand-painted delicate green latticework, eight individually hand-painted rose bouquets around the border, and rich 22k gold accents. The center is decorated with a coordinating floral wreath surrounding an additional bouquet, inspired by the finest European porcelain.
Signed and dated 2007 by the artist, larger decorative porcelain pieces of this caliber are seldom encountered, making this an outstanding acquisition for collectors seeking investment-quality miniature porcelain.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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