THIS IS A TRULY BREATHTAKING DOLL!

This is an exceptional doll with my very finest painting done in July 2010 as close to flawless as I can get.

Poured in fine white porcelain and with many layers of China paint meticulously applied and firings in between each layer.

The skin tone is very lovely and pale and with eye shadow

She wears earrings and matching necklace of genuine freshwater pearls.

This head features the very finest French Paperweight hand blown solid glass eyes by Hand Glass Craft of England in Mauve/lilac color with fabulous threading.

This doll features lovely high luster Australian mohair wig in rich brown color with center part, curly bangs and soft curls.

The extraordinary ONE OF A KIND costume is made with the finest pure silk Shantung fabric with amazing color by mixing the weft and warp threads of the weaving in different colors, often called “shot silk” or iridescent silk. Both dress and wired bonnet are matching silk and adorned with wonderful trims, ribbons and hand dyed ribbon flowers.

The Vintage laces are very rare and truly fabulous for this large size doll costume.

The lovely undergarments of bloomers and corset style petticoat are also pure silk in a lovely pale golden color.

Shoes are genuine leather and socks are hand knitted silk/rayon.

This doll stands 25 inches and 27 inches including the bonnet.
