This is a marked bisque doll measuring 15 inches tall, featuring a bisque head and shoulders with sleep eyes, prominent painted eyelashes, feathered eyebrows, and an open mouth with no teeth. The leather body wrap covers the torso, arms, and legs, showing stitched joints at the hips and knees. The left arm has been repaired previously and now requires additional repair, revealing wear and exposed stuffing. Markings are partly obscured by glue residues at the back of the bisque head. The doll comes dressed in a plaid cotton dress with lace trim, a white apron, black stockings, and includes an additional white cotton dress, bloomers, and stockings. Body condition shows aging and discoloration to the leather, with visible wear especially on the hands and extremities. The overall presentation is complete with period-appropriate clothing and a ribbon in the hair. **SHIPPING NOT RECOMMENDED Shipping is not recommended for this doll due to the extremely delicate sleep eye mechanism. The internal eye assembly cannot be properly secured for safe transit without compromising the structural integrity of the doll. While we take great care in packaging every item, we cannot ensure the safe arrival of this doll through standard shipping methods. Bidders who require shipping are strongly encouraged to reconsider purchasing this item. If a buyer chooses to have the doll shipped despite this recommendation, they do so entirely at their own risk. The seller and auction company assume no responsibility or liability for any damage that may occur during transit or upon arrival at its destination.
