Why You’ll Love It
This elegant porcelain lady by Viola Williams is beautifully dressed in layers of silk with a soft, romantic Tudor-inspired look. Her long blonde hair falls well below her waist, while delicate painted features and especially pretty eyelashes give her a gentle expression. Her costume is finished with rich trims, a structured headpiece, and a tiny hanging chatelaine at the front of her gown. She is a standing only doll, and comes with her original stand, which is signed on the underside and dated 2003.
Perfect for: Tudor and medieval-inspired rooms, castle courtyards, romantic historic scenes, artisan doll collections, and collectors of Viola Williams 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
