Why You’ll Love It
This exquisitely detailed 1:12 scale miniature doll's trousseau by artisan Tina Richardson features a hand-sculpted clay doll and an assortment of tiny accessories arranged inside a functional wooden presentation trunk. The distressed ivory box with lavender polka dots features a hinged lid, brass-toned latch, lace trim, and compartments lined with vintage-style printed paper. The 1” tall doll has long brown ringlets and wears a blue patterned dress with delicate lace trim and a matching bonnet. Her accessories include miniature perfume bottles, a tea set, baby doll, teddy bear, rocking horse, dress form, hand mirror, and tiny stationery, among other decorative treasures. The box closes, and the doll can be displayed separately or nestled inside.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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