So I went to an antique store with my parents today, and got suckered into buying this doll. She's not like my other dolls...she has little damage and is actually pretty. Small in size. It says made in Japan on her back and has a mark. All I know about her is what the letter says. She comes with a BUNCH of handmade outfits. I believe she's bisque. Anyone know who she is?
Edit: Added a picture of some of the outfits she came with.
The note tells a lot :-) These were mass produced from 1910-1940's . Sometimes referred to as carnival dolls , Kewpie type and Betty Boop type they don't have their own name :-( Yours Made of stone bisque ,some were later made in celluloid and other materials . So cute :-))))))
Thanks Manikin!! The note is so cute..it's the reason I bought the doll. It reminds me of why I collect the old dolls. I always think of how loved the doll must have been, then one day becomes forgotten. Sad. But anyway, THANKS!! I think I'm gonna take a pic of her outfits and post with the doll.
