Plastic is the primary material for the vast majority of miniature ornaments on the market. Manufacturers mass-produce them with injection molding and apply decorative paint via mechanical spraying. However, the cold, flimsy texture of plastic always clashes sharply with the realistic dollhouses built with elaborate effort.
What’s more troublesome is the inherent flaw of plastic decorations: after prolonged display under lighting exposure and air oxidation, they will soon turn yellow and dull, become brittle with aging, and their originally bright hues gradually fade and mottle.
I am especially eager for miniature pieces crafted entirely from solid metal. Mini furniture, tableware and decorative ornaments forged from brass, and alloys feature delicate, and their substantial weight delivers a strong sense of quality.
Metal resists oxidation caused by daily lighting exposure, so it rarely yellows or fades. It maintains its fine texture perfectly even after long-term display. Its crisp, intricate textures faithfully replicate real-life objects. When matched with a dollhouse, metal decorations help create an incredibly lifelike and authentic domestic atmosphere.
