Antique German Bisque Half Doll 4.5” Lady Original Wig Strawberry Blonde Hair


Description:


A beautiful and especially charming antique German bisque half doll, measuring approximately 4.5 inches tall, with a wonderfully expressive face and an absolutely gorgeous strawberry-blonde wig!


This lovely lady has an elegant, finely modeled figure with a graceful neckline, beautifully sculpted arms, and delicate hands held in expressive poses. Her facial painting is particularly appealing, with softly shaded cheeks, finely painted eyes, arched eyebrows, and dainty red lips.


One of her most outstanding features is her beautiful strawberry-blonde wig, styled in soft, flowing waves and curls with sweet little ribbon accents at either side. The hair gives her a romantic and unusually lifelike appearance and makes her an especially attractive example for display.


She has a beautifully modeled full torso, with openings at the front and back of the base for attachment to a pincushion, powder puff, or other decorative creation.


Condition: Very good antique condition overall. There is a tiny flea bite or small area of porcelain loss beneath the middle finger on her right hand. Please see the close-up photographs. Otherwise, she presents beautifully, with lovely facial painting and a particularly attractive wig. Minor age-related wear is consistent with her antique age.


Measurements: Approximately 4.5 inches tall.


Age: Circa 1910–1925.


A wonderful addition to a collection of antique German half dolls, vanity dolls, or Edwardian and early Art Deco decorative bisque. Her gorgeous strawberry-blonde hair and graceful sculpting make her a very special example!
