Description
Sets of 3 Perfectly Imperfect Discounted Miniature Ceramic Houses with minor blemishes. B Grade “seconds”.
Crafted with the same fine stoneware clay and beautiful shimmering glazes, these miniature ceramic houses come with a little extra character which sadly means they didn’t make it through very strict quality control. Each one has a unique story to tell, featuring small quirks such as tiny pinholes, gentle cracks, or a touch of wonky charm. These marks of individuality are often barely noticeable—some are even on the back and hidden from view—but they add personality and warmth to each piece.
To reflect their unique character, these “seconds” are offered at a special discounted price.
Like all of Penny Howarth’s creations, these houses are one-of-a-kind and handmade with care. Their roofs still gleam in beautiful beige and speckled blue agate gloss finishes, catching the light from every angle. They make wonderful, thoughtful gifts for friends and loved ones, perfect for housewarmings, or simply to show someone you’re thinking of them.
Display these delightful houses on a windowsill, mantle, or within a diorama scene—each “perfectly imperfect” piece will add a touch of charm and authenticity to any setting.
All dimension vary to please study the photos with a US cent and UK Penny coin for scale comparison.
