    Parian doll is "made of fine white bisque (unglazed porcelain) without tinting." . She is unlike a Bisque doll or China doll. She has original body and her original dress which I took off to photo her , The sculpting on Parain dolls can be very detailed and one of my favorite types of antique dolls , this is just a example of one I thought I would share since it has been awhile since I posted :-) She is 16 inchs tall .

      What a lovely face!
    28. Celiene Celiene, 8 years ago
      What does that mean 'without tinting'? Tinting in the porcelain itself? How are her cheeks tinted?
    29. Manikin Manikin, 8 years ago
      Not sure what you mean no tinting Celine ? Of coarse she has been hand painted but bisque is white before painted and area's not painted are white .
    30. chinaheads chinaheads, 8 years ago
      She's a beauty. Fantastic kid arms with articulated fingers. A bit ABG-esque. Is she marked? An angelic and peaceful child doll.
    31. Manikin Manikin, 8 years ago
      Thank you chinahead . No she has no markings . I agree she remind me a bit of the ABG China dolls but she remains a mystery as to who made her . I also always wanted original bodies and clothes in fact I collected French Fashions for years and would not buy unless original clothes or replaced during period as many of the dress's in silk did not hold up well at all . Glad you stopped :-)

      Beautiful face on this doll, with a very elaborate and pretty hairstyle.

      Reminds me of the dolls my grandmother used to collect.

      My grandmother was an RN too.

      She collected antique dolls, had half a wall full of them.

      She was the charge nurse of Monterey Peninsula Hospital, 7th floor.

      They called her Johnnie.

      She loved her work. Worked until she was 73 years old.
    33. Manikin Manikin, 8 years ago
      Thank you AmatoorPikr and I loved your story about your Grandmother :-) Many thanks for stopping and sharing with me . I can't imagine working till I am 73 but have a long way to go before that :-)
    34. Manikin Manikin, 6 years ago

      Hello Maniquin¡! For those who don't know why they are called "Parian", it comes from the name of a very pure white marble that was extracted from the quarries of the Greek island of Paros. A type of porcelain was developed imitating that whiteness, calling it "Parian ware"
