Vintage Artisan Miniature Dollhouse Marie Friedman Porcelain Cabinet Plate 1984
Bring a touch of elegance to your dollhouse collection with this one-of-a-kind cabinet plate by the talented Marie Friedman. It is signed and dated 1984. This exquisite piece is crafted from eggshell porcelain, with a hand-painted 22kt gold rim. A hand-enameled design of yellow, white and purple wildflowers encircle the top of the plate's surface, with branching leaves weaving between the blooms. Little orange butterflies flit amongst the flowers. This plate is so light it feels as if you are holding air.

This miniature came from a wonderful lifetime, STUNNING miniature collection, all collected by Mesha and Clifford of New York. This amazing collection of treasured pieces will take some time to list, but they are worth the wait. The 1980s through the 1990s were one of the most interesting time periods in the miniature market, so many artists making their debut...this collection was curated during this time by going to shows, writing the artists and boarding planes to retrieve their long awaited treasures. To have the opportunity to share this one of a kind collection is something miniature dreams are made of (for me)...rarely do I keep more than one item from each collection, but this one is the hardest of all to let even a single piece go, you will see what I mean shortly...enjoy them all as they are all one of a kind and made by some of the most wonderful miniature artisans in the world.

Selling Vintage and Antique Disclaimer
I sell Vintage and Antique items, typically they come with dust, scratches, bumps, bruises and the like (aka, they are not perfect but always still fabulous). I do not claim, nor am I an expert on most things I list however, I do my best to accurately describe each and every item. If I have missed something important or have made an error in a listing, please contact me as the more information the better. If you purchase something from me, please pay on time or contact me prior to the listing ending so we can make arrangements. I do my best to pack everything as if it were my own, but if during the postal ride it is broken or it is not as described, please contact me so we can figure out what to do to make us 'both' happy. Leaving a negative feedback before attempting to let me know what's wrong is 'not' kind. I work very hard to find, list and expertly ship each item...I treat customers the way I would like to be treated, please to the same in return.
