Blue China Dresser

A damaged 1850s Staffordshire tea cup set from a Welsh coal miner's estate auction.

This charming miniature dresser was once a _Tea-for-One_ set, crafted in bone china by an English pottery in the early 1880s, later relegated to a dusty attic by the 1920s. Tatjana Kreiner salvaged the delicate, hand-painted motifs and reimagined the set's fragments into a diminutive dresser, its weathered finish evoking the patina of years. The single drawer and shelf now invite the imagination to populate this tiny, tranquil space.

Hand-painted bone china dresser with a drawer and a shelf, showcasing intricate Victorian-style details.
