Miniature China Doll
- Scope and content:
-
Glazed porcelain china doll. The doll is naked except for a tiny bonnet on her head. The bonnet is "tied" on by a painted red ribbon. The facial features of the doll have been painted on, leaving her with red lips, rosy cheeks, and blue eyes. Unfortunately, the arms have broken off of the doll at about elbow level. This does however reveal that this doll was not made with posable limbs as other dolls of this time were. The back of the doll reveals a tiny puncture which may have been a result of the molding process. Without any distinguishing or identifying markings the doll's origins are difficult to determine. The doll could have been manufactured anywhere in Europe or the U.S. during the 19th Century. 2.75 in. (height). An image is available at https://www.flickr.com/photos/scrc/5765575801/.
