102 - 3 ¾" Glass-eyed All Original Swiss Girl
This
is a wonderful little doll in the detailed costume of the Canton
of Berne, Switzerland. She has a pretty little face with dark
brown glass set eyes, fine lashes all around, a sweet tiny mouth
and softly blushed cheeks. She is perfect too, with no damage
anywhere.
Her
graceful hands, and legs with brown mid-calf stockings, and black
heeled slippers with one strap, lead me to believe that she was
made by Simon & Halbig. I am not about to remove her perfect
wig, with long blond mohair braids still tied with the original
black silk, to see if her head is marked. Her black velvet bonnet
is tied over that also. Her limbs are pegged so she is fairly
early also.
Her
costume is quite elaborate starting with lace trimmed pantalets
and petticoat, a fine black wool skirt with red binding at the
hem, cotton blouse with puffed sleeves and tucked bodice, red
sateen apron, and the pretty black velvet vest with beaded flowers
on the front. Metallic cord steps in to represents the fine chains
that normally are seen going under the arms with this costume.
She
is just a great miniature doll in fabulous condition!
She is priced at $330.00
