Description
19" (48 cm.) 19" overall, 8" doll. A porcelain half doll is posed as though slightly leaning forward, with delicately tinted complexion, brown sculpted hair drawn into a coiled topknot with clustered curls above each ear held by tiny blue sculpted bows, painted facial features with slightly smiling expression and a row of tiny beaded teeth, bare shoulders above a purple fitted blouse. The half-doll is attached to her original wire-framed tea-cozy skirt with padded underskirt and silk overskirt. Condition: generally excellent. Comments: Germany, c. 1910. Value Points: exceptional quality of sculpting allowed by the rare large size.
