Hi all - I recently acquired this pretty girl . . . she has a very sweet face!
The body is all bisque and seems to be in amazingly nice condition. She is about 20" tall.
She has a nice set of clothes (noticed I forgot to include the hat in pics).
Just wondering if anyone can tell me more about her - may keep or give to mother-in-law for Christmas (if I can part with her :)

Your doll is new and was made as signed in 1985 and is a reproduction of a German doll, many of the these dolls are made from copies using the Antique molds which doll stores amd ceramic stores carry . She is pretty but in todays market they just have not held up and prices are very low for newer collectible dolls.
Very Cute and Thanks for sharing her
