I love the face on this wonderful 18 1/2 inch bebe. She has such joy with a hit of mischief! I also love how every Bebe Jumeau has their own personality. This lovely girl has excellent bisque, with no hairlines or repairs. There is a light nose rub and a small mold flaw or chip on the left cheek. It is not distracting, and I've taken a number of photos so you can judge for yourself. There is a white area along the crown edge, but no wig pulls. This is pretty common, and is just how some dolls came from the factory. She also has a very small chip at each earring hole. Her creamy bisque is beautifully decorated with thick multi-stroke brows, painted upper and lower eyelashes, gorgeous blue paperweight eyes with darker outline of the iris, evenly blushed cheeks, pierced ears with dark pink glass dangle earrings, closed mouth with painted upturned lips and white space between. Her original jointed wood/compo body has desirable straight wrists, indicating that she is an earlier model. Her torso has a mama/papa cryer but no pull strings, so does not function. Her original body finish is in good condition with some typical wear. She maintains the blue Jumeau stamp on her derrière. Her strawberry blonde wig is new, and has been restyled to flatter her pretty face. It sits atop a cork pate that is probably not original because it is a wee bit small. She wears a brilliant artist made dress in white cotton with inset pink ribbon, and pink kid leather antique shoes.
