Antique 18" China Head Doll, Lovely Old Costume, As Is

Description

This is a lovely example of an 1890s low brow porcelain china shoulder head doll
with curls all over the hair,
as was the fashion of the time. She stands 18" tall with a clean firmly stuffed cloth body with porcelain lower arms and legs.  Her costume consists of old pantaloons with one inch of crocheted lace at the hem, an old window pane check half slip and a sweet floral voile gown with Leg-O-Mutton sleeves, a satin sash and a ruffled collar and hem with antique lace trim. Sometime in her long history she was repaired at the neck with an old reglue, only visible if one pulls the tight neck band away from the head.
