The "Big Eyes" Bradley Dolls, which stand about 10 1/2 inches (10.5") tall and were made in Korea in the 1960s and 1970s, are popular vintage collectible items.
Key Characteristics:
Design: These dolls are well-known for their distinct big eyes and large heads, often featuring painted faces in a style reminiscent of Shoujo manga or anime.
Construction: The bodies are commonly built with a wire skeleton covered by Styrofoam and/or cloth, allowing them to be posed.
Attire: They are frequently dressed in elaborate, elegant period or "mod" style clothing, with large hoop skirts and lace trim.
Markings: Many were manufactured under the Bradley Doll Co. brand, also associated with Artmark and Treasured Dolls. The label or a stamp on the base often indicates they were "Made in Korea".
