About This Doll
This vintage porcelain collector doll combines pale blonde curls with a richly patterned burgundy, floral, and red tartan outfit. Dating approximately to the late twentieth century, possibly the 1980s–1990s, she measures around 32 cm high.
Her pale face has fixed turquoise-blue eyes, softly painted brows, rosy cheeks, and peach-orange lips. The eyes’ exact material has not been confirmed. No chips or cracks are reported in the porcelain face.
Large synthetic curls frame the head and continue down the back. The pale blonde hair retains defined ringlets, alongside flyaway strands and some tangling. Its volume contrasts with the dark bodice and patterned clothing.
Burgundy, Floral and Tartan Details
A burgundy velvet-style bodice forms the upper front of the dress. Two floral fabric-covered buttons sit beneath a narrow matching floral collar. The long floral sleeves gather at the shoulders and finish with broad burgundy cuffs.
The skirt combines red tartan panels with a dense pink, green, and burgundy floral print. White lace and burgundy ribbon finish the lower edge. These contrasting fabrics create a layered effect without a separate cape being shown.
A small burgundy fabric pouch with tartan detailing hangs at the front of the skirt. The tartan also appears in the rear skirt panel. Its specific pattern name has not been independently verified.
Construction and Footwear
The doll has a porcelain head and hands with a soft cloth body. White bloomers extend below the skirt, with gathered legs and lace-trimmed cuffs. Pale stockings accompany white ribbon-laced ankle boots.
The boots have separate dark soles and a white outer finish. Their exact material is unconfirmed and is not described as porcelain. The maker and manufacturing country remain unidentified.
Condition
Good overall vintage condition, with the face and painted features appearing well preserved in the photographs. No porcelain chips or cracks are reported. The hair has loose fibres, flyaways, and some tangling.
The costume shows creasing, surface lint, and light handling wear. Loose threads are visible around the lace-trimmed underclothing. The photographed pouch, buttons, and skirt panels remain present.
The boots show scuffing and areas of peeling or lifting around the toe and sole edges. Ribbon laces are present. Please examine the footwear close-ups carefully, as this wear is more than a minor surface mark.
Independent standing ability has not been established. Please review the photographs for the condition of this individual doll.
