12" Germany flat top china head in orig dark red cotton dress & cotton slip

Description

12" antique Germany flat top china head, in good aged original condition with a beautiful face with nice coloring, blue eyes, red accented  eyes & nostrils, lovely blushed cheeks, red lips,  black hair. Head measures 3" high, is 2.75" across shoulders, has no cracks or hairlines, does have a very small chip at back of bottom of plate from the left thread hole to the edge,  and 5 small color rubs in her hair. I did not remove her clothing as it is stitched on, but looking & feeling as well as I could, the original hard stuffed cloth body & upper limbs seem to be in good sound condition with no leaking. The china lower arms are good, fingers on right hand show lower thumb missing and rough edges on two fingers. The left hand has the thumb tip missing and  tips of all fingers missing. The lower china legs show orange shoes with molded heels,  and a blue band around the top of the stocking. Left leg has a clean break and has been re-glued with some glue residue showing. Right leg has only the lower shoe area remaining, with the china top missing, and from the ankle upward is a wrapped a tight piece of cloth binding to hold the shoe in place. Her original dark red woven cotton dress  is mostly hand stitched, with gathered fabric ruffles around the bottom of the skirt. There are about a dozen tiny holes on the entire dress.....I love the dress.  She also wears  her original gauzy ecru cotton slip with eyelet edging (yellowed), plain cotton long pants (both stitched onto the body). A good original old doll that shows well.  I accept Paypal.
