The scale is common in playhouses for younger children, with Plan Toys and Calico Critters (Sylvanian Families) making their dolls, furniture and some animals in roughly 1:12 scale. In 1:12 scale, doorways will be 6 to 7 1/2 inches tall (15 to 19 centimeters) or larger, and most adult dolls are depicted at between 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) and 6 inches (15.2 centimeters) in height. At a time when imperial rulers were marked in 1/12 of an inch, this was, and continues to be, a popular size, which allows for the creation of greatly detailed miniatures. 1:12 Dollhouse Scale: One Inch to One Footġ:12 scale (sometimes called 1-inch scale) gained widespread acceptance amongst collectors of artisan miniatures when it was chosen as the scale for Queen Mary's Dolls House.
