Antique Low Brow China Head Doll with Antique TLC Body and Outfit Miniature

Description

In this listing we have a very cute, but somewhat TLC Low Brow china head doll. I will start of saying that I am a novice when it comes to antique dolls, so if I’m wrong with any info, please feel free to let me know. This doll, despite having a lot of issues, is so cute! She has a china head with black hair, light blue eyes, and cute red lips. She has also a lot of blush! She will come with her body (but is not longer attached to it) and her very TLC antique clothes. Her clothing is sewn on and in very delicate condition, so I am unable to remove it for pictures. She has a tattered dress, an underskirt, and a second underskirt. This doll is about 11.5 inches tall. The back of her shoulder plate is marked “Germany”.
This doll is in TLC shape. Some part of her are not bad, but she does have a fair amount of issues. I did wash the head, but the body will need some cleaning. It’s dusty and will need some cleaning, but I will leave that to the new owner. Her head is in good shape. She does have some wear to her painted hair to the front, sides, and back of her hair. In a couple spots along her hairline the black paint goes lower than the molded in hair line. The doll’s face paint looks good. She does have a small section of missing paint on her left eyebrow. The doll’s eyes look good. They’re not perfectly painted, but these dolls are all hand painted, The doll’s lips and blush looks very nice. She does have a small chip to the end of her nose. It’s not as bad as it could be, but you can certainly see it. On the doll’s face below her left eye she has a small black dot on her face. There is also a black dot on her shoulder plate in the front on the left side. On the right side there’s a couple black lines on the shoulder blade. The edge of her shoulder plate the edges are a little sloppy and a little rough in a couple places. On the front and back it looks like there’s a couple small chips to it, but I don’t see any cracks or repairs done to the doll. The doll’s body is in rough shape. The doll is missing one her arms and one of her legs. The arm is totally gone, but she does have the fabric part of her upper leg. The doll does have a fabric layer over what I assume is her original body, so I can’t talk about it too much about it. The doll’s upper arm looks original. It looks decent, but the bottom part of the seam has come undone and the fabric does look a little fragile. There is a lot of ground in dirt to the ceramic arm and there’s some chipping on the bottom of the fingers. The doll’s leg looks good. The fabric that is visible looks good, but there’s a lot of age to it. There is some ground in dirt to the ceramic part. There is some paint chipping to the brown part at the bottom. The doll’s dress is a mess. It is falling apart and melting. There’s some staining and lots of issues. There is some fraying and wear to the trim on the bottom. The trim at the waist and the shoulder is pretty damaged. I will do my best to pack it, but this might get more damaged from shipping. It’s very fragile. The underskirt looks better. It does have a lot of staining, including some color transfer from the top dress. There’s some holes in it and the bottom hem is a bit ragged in several places. The second underskirt also has stains and some holes. The bottom trim looks good, but does have some age wear. Please examine all pictures to see the exact condition of this doll and please keep in mind some issues are more visible in person compared to pictures.
