Muffie

Emily Hart

Presenting: A “One of a kind” porcelain baby doll, entirely made by Emily Hart, including all porcelain parts & cloth body & clothing.

This little darling was painted in 1997, so she is a Vintage doll but has been completely refurbished. Her romper outfit and bonus dress have been carefully washed and ironed, and she has new cotton socks, so she is like a near-new doll.

This doll was made from the very popular “Muffie”, a Bell Ceramics mold.

Early in my career as a doll maker, I had a teaching studio and this was one of the most popular dolls with my students… we used to call these kind of dolls “bean bag Babies” as they were the first dolls to be “weighted” with plastic pellets as this doll is also weighted.

I am going through all my drawers and pulling out all the dolls that are partly made in an effort to finish them and offer them for sale.

She is poured in Seeley’s “Brown Velvet” porcelain with wonderful china painting in many layers with firings in between.

This sweet doll features the highest quality solid glass paperweight eyes in brown color. (sorry they don’t photograph well, but are very beautiful)

Her wig is acrylic.

Her body is strong 100% cotton muslin and filled with plastic baby pellets so she feels like a real baby when you hold her.

I had made a cotton romper with little frills and matching hair ribbon from a lightweight pure silk taffeta. This outfit has been freshly washed and ironed.

As a bonus I am including an extra dress, also vintage, that is a taffeta fabric with French lace at the neckline and pearl button closure at the back. This dress has also been freshly washed and ironed.

She measures 16 inches

Please Note: I no longer have the mold to make more of this doll so this is the last one I will be able to offer.
