Blue Dresser with Bowl

A 1905 opera house chandelier's discarded brass finial and a damaged Limoges teacup.

This enchanting miniature dresser was once a component of a railway carriage's luxurious sleeping quarters, circa 1885. Tatjana Kreiner has carefully restored the original brass hardware and incorporated it into a new, hand-painted porcelain body, adorned with delicate florals reminiscent of the Victorian era. The dresser's single drawer, now a soft white, opens to reveal a tiny, hand-painted bowl, a testament to the artisan's meticulous attention to detail.
