This is a Christian Max Bergmann 18-inch doll, featuring a fine porcelain bisque head likely manufactured by Simon & Halbig, with a composition and wood jointed body. The doll displays blue glass sleepy eyes, an open mouth with teeth, and a new paired wig. It comes dressed in appropriate period-style clothing, including a cream dress with green trim, stockings, shoes, and undergarments. The hands and limbs show some wear and paint loss consistent with age, and there are minor surface cracks and marks on the body. The doll stands on a display stand and has clearly defined facial features with delicately painted brows, lashes, and lips. Markings are present on the back of the head, and overall, the doll retains good visual appeal despite typical age-related condition issues. **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.
