About This Doll
This vintage porcelain collector doll wears a sage green dress and a flower-trimmed woven hat. Her short chestnut-brown hair and softly painted face give her a distinctive, slightly wistful expression.
Dating approximately to the late twentieth century, possibly the 1980s–1990s, she measures around 27 cm high. Her compact size makes the costume details easy to appreciate without requiring a large display.
The round porcelain face has fixed blue-grey eyes, fine painted brows, rosy cheeks, and a small dark-red mouth. The eyes’ exact material is unconfirmed. No chips or cracks are reported in the porcelain.
Sage Green Costume
The dress has a textured, open-weave appearance in a muted sage green shade. Its precise fibre composition has not been established, so it is described as linen-look rather than confirmed linen.
Gathered shoulders and long sleeves create a softly rounded silhouette. Elasticated-looking cuffs finish above the porcelain hands. The gathered skirt falls below the knees, revealing white bloomers and dark brown shoes.
A broad white collar contrasts with the green fabric. Long white ribbons tie beneath the chin and extend over the dress front. The photographs show these as the hat’s chin ties, rather than a separate waist bow.
Flower-Trimmed Hat
The pale, straw-look woven hat has a rounded crown and a softly shaped brim. White artificial flowers decorate one side, with pale yellow-green centres adding a subtle colour accent.
The hat’s woven texture echoes the coarse appearance of the dress fabric. Its precise material is unconfirmed. Together, the hat and restrained costume create a simple pastoral look.
Construction and Labels
The doll has a porcelain head and hands with a soft cloth body. Short synthetic brown hair sits beneath the hat. White bloomers gather above brown fabric-covered shoes with contrasting golden-brown ribbon ties.
English and German collector-warning labels remain attached to the clothing. Their wording identifies an adult collector doll rather than a children’s toy. These labels do not establish a manufacturer or country of production.
Condition
Good overall vintage condition, with light surface dust, fabric creasing, and scattered lint. The hair is tousled, with loose strands. Small loose threads are visible around the dress hem.
The face and painted features appear well preserved in the supplied photographs. No porcelain chips or cracks are reported. The hat and artificial flower decoration are present.
The shoes show light surface wear and creasing, with ribbon ties present. Independent standing ability has not been established. Please examine the photographs for the individual condition of the doll and clothing.
