Beautiful glazed porcelain shoulder head, with shaded blue eyes with black lash lines, red lid lines, accented eye corners, nostrils, and mouth in a smile.

Original cloth body with china limbs, the left ankle re-glued. Her legs are beautiful with unusually decorative cobalt blue garter and bow painting. The cloth body in unusually good condition, with just the typical darkened color and spotting from age.

She wears a lovely two-piece gown made of antique velvet, silk, and lace. The skirt is extremely fragile with splitting between the embroidered pleats, lace trimmed undergarments. As can be seen in the photos, the gown still displays beautifully.

There are no chips, cracks, or repairs to the gorgeous head, and barely even a paint rub on the hair.

A lovely lady to grace your collection.
