Nippon toddler/baby doll measuring 18 inches in height. The doll has a bisque head with blue glass sleep eyes, an open mouth showing upper teeth, and painted features. The body is composition with jointed limbs and shows expected wear with scuffing and paint loss consistent with age. The back of the head is marked with the Nippon symbol, confirming its origin. Period-appropriate clothing includes a collared shirt, brown suspenders, undergarment, and lace-up boots, which are shown separately. The overall presentation retains its period character and displays the authentic charm typical of early Japanese doll craftsmanship. The eyes stick in the closet position unless nudged gently. Sone restorative efforts include a new mohair wig and paint. **Shipping Notice: Due to the delicate nature of the doll's sleep eye mechanism, any shipped doll will arrive with the wig and skull cap removed, and the eyes secured to help minimize the risk of damage during transit. Please expect this if you require shipping. Because of the additional time and care required to prepare the doll for safe shipment, an additional handling fee may apply. These dolls are exceptionally fragile, and while we take the greatest care in packing and securing every item, shipping always carries an inherent risk. By requesting shipping, you acknowledge and accept the possibility of damage that may occur during transit.
