Antique-Style Porcelain Children’s Doll with Original Lace Clothing – Circa 1920 – Plus Bonus Porcelain Doll’s Head

A charming vintage porcelain children’s doll, believed to date from approximately 1920, beautifully dressed in an elaborate period outfit featuring original lace, embroidered fabric and delicate decorative detailing.

This delightful doll has a sweet, youthful face with rosy cheeks, finely painted blue eyes, small red lips and glossy dark brown hair styled in soft curls.

The doll retains what is believed to be her original clothing, which is particularly attractive and adds considerably to her vintage charm.

Doll 1 – Fully Dressed Porcelain Children’s Doll

The doll wears an elaborate, full-skirted outfit featuring:

* Beautiful cream-coloured antique lace and intricate openwork crochet.
* Delicate black floral embroidery on sheer fabric.
* A richly layered skirt with a burgundy-coloured underskirt.
* Decorative lace around the neckline, sleeves and skirt.
* Original undergarments with delicate lace trimming.
* A black ribbon tied around the waist at the back.
* Porcelain arms and legs, finished with black painted shoes.

The original clothing has developed a lovely aged patina, consistent with its presumed period.

The doll has porcelain hands, arms and lower legs, all appearing intact with no visible chips, cracks or repairs to the porcelain.

The clothing has not been removed or altered, in order to preserve its originality.

Dimensions:

* Total height: 18 cm
* Width including skirt: 18 cm
* Depth: 8 cm
* Porcelain head: approximately 4 × 3 × 2 cm

Condition:

Very good vintage condition considering its presumed age.

The porcelain elements show no visible damage. The original clothing displays natural age-related discolouration, minor wear and some fragility to the antique lace and fabrics.
