A SWEET LITTLE DOLL IN LOVELY OUTFIT

What a lovely little doll this is! Rarely can we all find reasonably priced small dolls in gorgeous outfits - but this is one! She is absolutely ideal for a collector of small dolls - or I can just see her as a Bebe`s own little doll - just perfect...She measures just over 6.5 inches tall. What a cutie...

The doll has a beautiful pale turquoise dress with lashings of cream lace. Flannel underskirt and long drawers with lace trim. Isn`t her French style hat just superb? It lifts off to reveal blond mohair little wig. It is difficult to decipher her mark but it could be 1 (9?)3 23/0. If it is indeed 193, it would indicate Gebruder Knoch as the manufacturer. She has fixed blue eyes and open mouth with tiny teeth. Head just has a tiny chip to the neck socket - done in manufacture and it has fired in colour - insignificant but mentioned for accuracy. As the clothes are tiny and delicate I have not removed them, but body feels very sound. Jointed of course at the neck shoulders and hips. As is quite common in some of these little dolls there is some cracking lines around her lower legs - purely where the gesso surface expands at a different rate to the inner leg - but it is strong and does not present a problem. The painted shoes are quite delightful in brown with little painted straps across the foot. Tip of thumb and little finger missing to left hand - but bear in mind this doll is so tiny it is just not noticed unless under close inspection. Do contact me if you are interested in this sweet little doll - it is rare that I can find a doll in such a lavish outfit to offer to my customers at such a low price. If you wish to have further details do contact me.

THIS LITTLE DOLL IS PRICED AT JUST £235
