Accompanying a larger work belonging to an institution that was, quite appropriately, bequeathed the rights to certain characters, and created by an artist who specializes in such subjects, this sculpture is thought to be the smallest in a large, cosmopolitan city. Perhaps if you believe (and also clap your hands), you'll be able to identify it for me. Who knows?

A bronze statue by London-born sculptor Diarmuid Byron O'Connor was commissioned by Great Ormond Street Hospital — to whom Barrie bequeathed the copyright to the character — to be added to his four-foot statue of Peter Pan, wresting a thimble from Peter's hand. The figure has a 9.5-inch wingspan and is 7 inches high, said to be the smallest statue in London. It was unveiled on September 29, 2005 by Sophie, Countess of Wessex.

Indeed, zbeck, the tiny Tinker Bell at the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital is what I was after.
Now, do you want a silver thimble or a silver kettle? I can fill them both with fairy dust.
Here's a view of the Peter/Tink ensemble:
