Presenting: A “One of a kind” Ethnic doll, entirely made by Emily Hart, including all porcelain parts & cloth body, the doll completed in the year 2000, however, the costume was not completed until 2024.

Here you have a rare opportunity to get one of my very finest modern dolls.

I wanted to dress her to keep her for myself and so I used some very precious fabric that I had saved since 1981 for some special project.

I made her to be a Royal Princess, with jewel-encrusted garments.

This doll was made from the “Zelma” mold set of head, shoulderplate, lower arms, lower legs, with cloth body, originally sculpted by Roelie Broeksma-Muller and the molds made by Seeley’s.

This doll was poured in Seeley’s “Aztec Tan” porcelain with wonderful China painting in many layers with firings in between.

Her eyes are finest French Paperweight in light brown color.

She wears a layered necklace of Genuine Swarovski Crystals and glass beads. She has a matching bracelet and anklet.

She features and extra long highest quality HUMAN HAIR WIG in darkest brown/black color.

Her body is strong 100% cotton muslin, and arms have wire armature inside so they can be slightly bent at the elbows, hips, and knees.

I made a stunning full-length dress made with raw silk with metallic threads woven into the fabric. The skirt hem and the sleeves feature a deep chocolate-brown Guipure lace and a woven metallic trim with tiny pearls woven into it.

In addition, the skirt features a HAND MADE trim of jewels and bullion metallic threads.

The dress bodice is fully lined with pure silk taffeta and embellished with more HAND MADE metallic and jeweled appliques. The waist is embellished with a HAND MADE, beaded and sequined trim.

Her hat is woven bamboo and trimmed with the matching hand made trims as are featured on her dress.

The hat as well as dress and under garments bear Emily’s own woven label.

To compliment this extraordinary dress, I made her DELUXE undies in pure cotton fine embroidered Batiste fabric and trimmed them in French laces and Rayon trim with pink. Her undergarments consist of full petticoat and bloomers. All seams are French.

She has bare feet.

This doll stands 26.5 inches tall and 27.5 to top of hat.
