About Us

Merry Gourmet Miniatures are a mother and daughter partnership based in Bath, GB.

Aileen and Gail Tucker have been working with miniature replica food for over 23 years and have done extensive research on English Period Foods plus the table and kitchen arrangments, which they replicate. These items are made as authentic as possible, for dolls houses and miniature projects in the scale of 1:12th. Over the last few years they have also concentrated on domestic interiors through all the ages, as well as period shop displays and accessories.

Their classic range of foods go from the Medieval through Tudor and Georgian, up to Victorian and Edwardian. Other time periods such as Rennaisance, Art Deco, and War Time are interesting by-ways that are also being explored and this led on to developing a range of Georgian and Victorian printed advertising and kitchen china, which is exclusive to them.

Aileen is constantly introducing new ideas and new dishes for our customers to enjoy.
