30" (76 cm.) Bisque socket head, large blue glass inset eyes with spiral threading and darker blue outer rims, thick dark eyeliner, painted curly lashes, brushstroked and feathered brows, accented eye corners and nostrils, open mouth, outlined lips, four porcelain teeth, pierced ears, wheat blonde human hair hand-tied wig over cork pate, French composition and wooden fully-jointed body. Condition: generally excellent. Marks: 33 Mon Tresor 12 (head) France (body). Comments: Henri Rostal, circa 1914, who registered the trade name "Mon Tresor" on June 27 of that year; the outbreak of WWI just 37 days later likely influenced the short lived production of that doll. Value Points: rare doll with very beautiful eyes and expression, original body and body finish, beautiful antique costume.
