ESPECIALLY FOR YOU: an extremely unique hand painted porcelain seamstress/artisan dressed half doll fashioned with a hidden sewing box for pins, buttons, etc. incorporated into her elaborate dress. The dress is highly embellished with golden metallic lace, silk roses and ribbons. I especially like her silk roses and how the wide ribbons at the back of the dress create a bustle. — a very elegant artistic touch! Wide metallic lace covers the glass bowl that provides a place for small treasures or other delights.


This glazed porcelain half doll, artfully designed and hand painted, has elbows away from her body and hands reaching behind her head. Her dress bodice is blue with suggestions of white lace along the neckline and under the sleeve ruffles. She has an elegant hair style with long curls accented with a purple headband decoration.




CONDITION : I have no idea of her age or history, other than she has been owned by a serious and caring collector over the last 1/2 century who kept her behind glass. This doll has such a uniquely made dress “box” that you may wish to display her as is, or possibly use her existing dress as a model or pattern to remake her a new one. I have provided many photos so you can fully examine this doll. My camera picks up details that you wouldn’t normally notice, but that’s a good thing. I think this unique half doll is more lovely in person! I am pretty sure the new owner will agree!


Keep in mind she is not perfect, but despite fraying and discoloration of ribbons, aged fabric and trim surfaces, for her age, I feel this doll is in very good condition. I do not detect any odors on her. Overall her surface appears clean, but she has not gone through a thorough doll spa; I’ll leave that up to her new owner. She is sold as described through my text and photographs provided in this listing. Please read all text and view all photos.


Please read all text and zoom in to get a close up view of this doll, making note of age related issues to the fabric and trim, possible factory marks or other issues that may be of concern to you. I’ve tried my best to give you a good description of this fabulous dressed half doll but please ask questions before purchasing.


Your “new to you” doll will be securely packaged and posted quickly - so prepare for her arrival shortly.
