AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

rare and elegant Sonia fashion doll mannequin, produced in Italy by the famous Milanese workshop Ottolini C&D, dating from the mid-50s to the mid-60s.

The doll represents an extraordinary example of an Italian fashion doll of the era, created to compete in the high-fashion miniature market.

Lot features:

Face and Hairstyle: Splendid makeup in perfect condition, with the characteristic blue eyes topped by a deep powder-blue eyeshadow and hand-painted lashes. Blonde synthetic or natural hair styled in the typical short, voluminous cut of the 1960s.

Original Clothing: Wears a day outfit of the highest sartorial quality. The ensemble includes a navy blue short-sleeved coat with a bell silhouette and white buttons, paired with a beige piquet fabric dress. Completing the look, a splendid cloche hat with grosgrain ribbon and bow.

Body: Slender and elegant, features the typical high-heeled shoe molded and painted black directly on the foot (style similar to the Bild Lilli dolls of the era).

Markings: Clearly branded on the back of the neck in relief: "OTTOLINI - MOD. DEP. - MADE IN ITALY".

Condition:
Vintage condition; facial colors are fresh and bright. The clothes show no tears or obvious fading, but only normal and light signs of aging compatible with an item over 60 years old.

The attached photographs describe in detail the conservation state and the beauty of the item and are an integral part of the description.
