Very serene and pretty 24 Inch Blonde child china manufactured by the Alt, Beck and Gottschaalk porcelain factory in Germany around 1880. The shoulder head is a large 6 inches tall and 6 inches across and is heavy. There are are no repairs , imperfections to the porcelain quality. This appears to be a rare hand molded shoulderhead by the mold marks and a fine nick at the mold joint and faint line as shown in photos. It does now show under the off shoulder dress.

The antique muslin body is in good condition as is the lower black leather booted legs and stockings that are older. Has cotton eyelet antique slip and pantilets. The red cotton dress is heavy and has an over skirt with pleating at the bodice with cute antique tiny flowers. Peplum sleeves with cotton lace trim.

The face painting on this doll is beautiful and appears as a blonde curly haired child. Very rosy cheeks and big bright blue eyes with outlined iris, white highlight dot and dark lip line as signatures of this manufacturer.

The blonde hair is deeply molded so an early manufactured shoulder head.

This China has a great presence and would be a lovely addition to a collection.
