Why You'll Love It
A delightful example of Tricia Street's extraordinary porcelain artistry, this hand-sculpted miniature captures an elegant pastoral scene inspired by 18th-century European porcelain figures. A finely dressed gentleman gestures toward his seated female companion beneath a flowering tree, while brilliantly colored birds perch among the branches. Every tiny detail, from the faces and costumes to the blossoms scattered across the grassy base, have been hand-painted.
This is one of Tricia Street's larger and much rarer sculptural works. Signed on the underside.
Perfect for: Rococo salons, formal parlors, porcelain cabinets, collector's showcases, and period garden room scenes.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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