A beautiful and never used example of the Lilliput Lane “Parsley Cottage” (Code L3406) — the official 2012/13 Collectors’ Club Symbol of Membership. This charming 7 cm tall cottage is handmade in Great Britain and comes complete with its original box, full deeds, painter signature, and the original Lilliput Lane Club membership pin (still sealed in its factory packet).
The figurine depicts a quintessential thatched English cottage with a blue door, stone pathway, abundant flowers, lean-to storage area, and lush greenery — all crafted with Lilliput Lane’s famously detailed texture and colour work.
The underside label reads:
Parsley Cottage – L3406 – 2012/13 Club Symbol of Membership – Handmade in Great Britain – © 2012 Enesco Ltd.
A superb, collector-ready piece with every accessory present.
MAKER & HISTORY
Lilliput Lane, founded by David Tate in 1982, set the standard for miniature architectural sculptures. Every model was hand-crafted and hand-painted in Britain, capturing real cottages, pubs, churches, and rural landmarks with astonishing detail.
Parsley Cottage was issued exclusively for the 2012/13 Lilliput Lane Collectors' Club, making it more limited than general retail releases. Club pieces often featured enhanced detailing and came with accompanying membership items — in this case, the official Lilliput Lane Collectors’ Club metal pin, which adds notable desirability and completeness to the set.
With the closure of Lilliput Lane in 2016, boxed club pieces in unused condition have become highly sought-after by collectors worldwide.
DID YOU KNOW?
Lilliput Lane’s thatched-roof cottages are sculpted with individually carved strands and ridges to mimic authentic English thatching techniques — a craft that can take weeks in real life and still remains one of Britain’s rarest traditional trades.
