8” Antique miniature Bisque cloth body glass eyes 1885

Dolls : Antique

 

This precious miniature young lady is in excellent condition with no damage or repairs. She has a unmarked solid dome shoulderhead. Beautiful blue glass set eyes shine under long single-stroke brows and red upper lid lines. Plump blushed cheeks and a tiny slightly smiling closed mouth add to her charm. The sawdust-stuffed red cloth body is stitch-jointed at shoulders and hips, lower arms are stone bisque, lower legs are china with molded boots – neither arms nor legs are painted just glazed. Clothing is antique: skirt of dotted Swiss with eyelet ruffle hem, pink cotton chemise/blouse with lace collar and cotton bloomers that could make a second outfit without the skirt! Silk satin ribbon wraps her waist and matching velvet ribbon tops her mohair/floss wig. This darling girl needs a room setting or a silk cushion to sit upon!!
