Hello, and welcome to another fabulous Vintage Things Thursday, hosted by Suzanne of
http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/2010/05/vintage-thingies-thursday-wonderful.html thanks Suzanne for hosting this for us! This doll was given to me by my dear mother-in-law many yrs ago. She started collecting all kinds of dolls back in the 1960's - 70's. This is what started my collection of dolls, and my love for pretty Victorian things, including vintage laces, and
vintage baby dresses. (click on pictures to enlarge)
She is from 1910, and I just love her little porcelain face. The rest of her body is a composition material. I can't imagine little children playing with this. The eyes are glass, open and close, and are expensive to fix, should they fall back in her head. This happened earlier this year, when the
carriage I had her sitting in, toppled over. They have to soak off the wig to get inside the head, and reattach them. According to some articles I have read on the internet, these dolls were only owned by richer families, and only played with on Sunday's with the mother present.
thanks for stopping by for a visit, and please visit the other participants to see their vintage things too.
