Why You’ll Love It
A lovely and unusual Tudor dessert miniature by Val Adams of Gramarye Keep, this hand-crafted saffron rice pudding with dried fruit captures the rich, golden look of a historic sweet dish. The warm saffron tones and dark fruit topping give it a wonderfully appetizing appearance, while the small pewter platter adds an authentic period presentation. Saffron was a prized ingredient in medieval and Tudor cookery, making this a particularly evocative piece for collectors who enjoy historically inspired banquet foods and rare feast table details.
Perfect for: Tudor banquet tables, medieval dessert 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
