3.5" Circa 1850 China Head Doll & Wardrobe in Egg
So perfect and tiny, this miniature antique German Flattop China is only 3.5" tall, yet the detail in her painting and wardrobe belies her size. Her china shoulderhead measures barely 1" tall and .75" wide, with 1.75" head circumference. The finest white part is painted in her hair, black eyebrows & lid lines, blue eyes, rosy cheeks and smiling coral mouth complete her sweet expression. These heads are usually women, but this little one is definitely a young girl. She has her original cloth body and lower china limbs flat ankle boots are painted on her feet. The circa 1850 wardrobe is finely made and hand-sewn, and there are ten pieces: floral-printed batiste dress, tissue-like voile blouse, white dress, nightgown, sleeveless jacket, blue velvet jacket, wool bavolet bonnet and polished cotton cape, plus matching eyelet petticoat and pantalets. A tiny green silk pillow cushions her head on antique Easter grass inside the early German papier-mache egg – which matches the purple flowers of her dress! Original paper lace inside, and gold Dresden trims outside, makes this the perfect home for such a pampered and treasured little doll.
