Stunning Antique German bisque doll 17" tall all original and with her original outfitI am not a doll dealer or expert but will try to describe this beautiful doll as best as I can. She is stunning in person and the photos do not do her justice. Because I do not do returns I have chosen to use most of the photos ( since ebay only allows 12 photos) to show any condition concerns so that the buyer can make an informed decision. Please ask all questions prior to bidding as I do not do returns on delicate items.
This doll has a bisque head and composition body and is 17" tall. She is clean, has no odors or repairs. Her stringing is fairly good and tight. Her bisque head appears to be in all good condition although I did not unglue her hair to check the inside of her head because her human hair wig is in its original set and I did not want to mess it up. The nape of her neck is marked with, " 19.
10 Germany" (see last photo)
She is wearing a lovely hand made hat that originally had feathers and flowers that are know worn and in not good condition ( the feathers and flowers) but the hat itself is in good sturdy non damaged condition - just the feathers and flowers are not too good.
She has brown sleep eyes that work well and an open mouth with 3 teeth - I am guessing it originally she had 4 teeth but I am not sure.
Her hair is clean and in its original set and her ears have ring/hoop earrings of faux pearls in each ear. Everything appears to be original to her.
She is wearing a beautiful dress, slip with pantaloons that is clean and I see no damage on her clothing. Her socks and shoes appear to have never been removed so I decided not to disturb them assuming that if they were never removed the feet are probably in good condition. The bottom of her shoes are marked with the number "51".
Her composition body from the chest down is pretty good with just some paint missing on her lower legs but at the breast area near the neck there is an indentation ( see photos) and some composition loss a small crack at the top of her arm/shoulder. Her hands and fingers are in good condition. Despite these issues I still think she is a stunning clean and well reserved doll.
