Classic blue-eyed, rosy-cheeked china head doll has a headful of tight black waves, soft, hand-sewn body and graceful white porcelain arms with "spoon" - type hands. Her sturdy legs sport stylish, Victorian pointy-toed button- up ankle booties in rich, warm gray.
Rosy-cheeked miss wears a black satin ribbon at her neck, lace-trimmed white pantaloons and a full, white, lace-trimmed drawstring petticoat or underskirt.
Although some of her clothing incorporates machine stitching, the doll itself is obviously hand -stitched, It’s possible the clothing was added later.
Unmarked, Victorian-style doll is in very good vintage condition. She is fresh and clean and her painted-on features are clear and bright. I see no crazing. One of her curls has lost some sheen, and an arm seam could use a few stitches. I find some small ( India ink?) stains at the hem of her petticoat, a small chip on the back of her left leg, and some very minor chipping on her shoes. All issues are documented in the photos.
Charming, handmade collector's doll comes with original pantaloons and petticoat. A lovely addition to any doll family or display, the classic china head brunette ships USPS Ground Advantage from Los Angeles.
* Sale is for doll, petticoat and pantaloons only. Other clothing is used by the seller for staging purposes and is not for sale.
