Tulips have a short window — a few weeks in April, maybe into May if the weather cooperates — but the Nora Fleming TipToe Thru 'Em Mini doesn't observe that calendar. The tulip design on this cheerful little decorative mini is rendered with the same hand-finished detail that makes Nora Fleming minis a fixture on well-appointed tables across Northern Virginia and well beyond. If you've been collecting these pieces for a season or two, you already know: the right mini in the right spot on a platter or serving piece does something a centerpiece can't. It's specific. It's considered. It reads.
The TipToe Thru 'Em is listed as a spring seasonal release, which means it cycles in and out of availability. When it's here, it's worth picking up more than one.
To clean your Nora Fleming mini, hand wash only — no dishwasher, no soaking. A gentle rinse with mild soap and cool water is all it needs. Pat dry or set it upright to air dry completely before storing or displaying. The hand-wash requirement isn't unusual for a piece at this level of detail; it's the standard across the Nora Fleming decorative mini line, and it's what keeps the finish looking sharp season after season. Store it with your other minis somewhere it won't shift around — a small dish or a lined drawer works well. The Nora Fleming TipToe Thru 'Em tulip mini is the kind of piece that photographs well, holds up well, and earns its place on a table that's been set with some thought behind it.
