Why You'll Love It
This charming holiday pairing brings together two exquisite artisan treasures: a porcelain cookie plate topped with an array of hand-sculpted clay Christmas cookies by the celebrated miniature sweets artist Sue Ayers, and an opulent French Christmas cookie gift box created by Coffre D’Emilie. Each cookie—striped candy canes, tiny iced gingerbread, sugared tree-shapes, chocolate-dipped treats, and more—is full of whimsical detail and signed on the underside. The accompanying gift box is a miniature work of art, wrapped in festive French papers, adorned with gilded garland, delicate roses, and softly cradling tiny golden cookies within decorative shredded paper. Together, they make a magical holiday moment ready to display on a dollhouse mantel, beside a miniature Christmas tree, or as a sweets spread on a holiday kitchen counter. Perfect for collectors who love intricate old-world charm and European artisan craftsmanship.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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