Why You’ll Love It
A beautifully distinctive Tudor feast miniature by Val Adams of Gramarye Keep, this raised meat pie is decorated with tiny red pomegranate seeds and green herbs for an especially elegant presentation. Raised pies were prized not only as food, but as part of the visual spectacle of the table, with sturdy pastry forms creating impressive edible centerpieces. The bright garnish gives this tiny pie a wonderfully high-status look, making it especially suited to a richly appointed Tudor banquet scene.
Perfect for: Tudor banquet tables, medieval feast displays, castle dining scenes, historic food collections, and collectors of Val Adams or Gramarye Keep miniatures.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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