I forget who makes these dolls. She used to be my nana's and now she dances in the centre of my dresser. I love her, she's so pretty. A bit of her tutu has broken off but I still have the pieces.
So dainty!

Hi manikin :-)
the bottom has a gold crown painted on it. It has a numeber etched into the base 160 (I think!) It's hard to tell if there is another number - may be another 6 or 0? Otherwise I'm seeing things and it's just the first 3 digits.
Yes the first ebay German one looks closest to mine - her skirt is made in the same way. Thank you for letting me know what it is.
