This type of doll, which is increasingly hard to find, was created in the 1860s, and is a beautiful representation of antique doll craftsmanship. Her glazed porcelain head features predominantly flat hair on top, with ringlets cascading around the back. Her body is made of cloth, while her hands and feet are crafted from kid leather and are sawdust filled. The doll does have some age-related imperfections, including damage to a leg that has been wrapped, and wear showing on her hands and feet.
Her clothing is characteristic of the era. She wears a faded creme gown with a lace border, as well as homemade knitted stockings. Her face is impeccably painted, showcasing pinkish rosy cheeks, pink lips, blue eyes, and black eyebrows, all in remarkable condition.
