Super Cuno & Otto Dressell 1349 Jutta

Isn`t this doll lovely? She measures about 18" tall so is an ideal display size and dates from around 1908. Of course Cuno and Otto Dressell were renowned for producing such a wide range of dolls, some totally of their own manufacture and others using some parts bought in from other manufacturers. The quality of the head is super - as would be expected as it was made for Dressell by Simon & Halbig with good bisque and colouring. The head is fully marked 1349 Jutta S & H with size number 6 1/2 in the neck. The body is also marked with the Dressell stamp at the rear top right of the torso. The body is in excellent condition with wear only to the top of each leg. Most of the body even has the original gloss to the surface. She has her original pretty blond wig on original pate. The wig has thinned in places and is a little dusty, but still looks lovely on her - even the little blue bow in the wig is original. Her blue eyes are so lovely being sleep eyes in a gorgeous deep shade of blue. Moulded and finely painted eyebrows. Open mouth with 4 upper teeth. Rosy cheeks (minute rub to right cheek - barely visible) and dimple in her chin.
