I rescued these two mignonette dolls that were bound for the hard rubbish truck. The cupie? doll is marked made in japan and the other is a German made bisque, strung with metal wire. They both still have lovely painted features.
The German bisque measures 3.4 inches and the other is slightly smaller 2.7 inches.
PS
I have found a few more to add to the collection!
Very nice save :-) The German doll would have had a real human hair wig on . I call them Doll house bisque dolls .They date around 1900-30. Glad you didn't let them go into trash :-)
Thanks Manikin :) It will be fun dressing them! I will try to get a wig for the german doll.
I have 2 little one like that and I don't crochet but managed to make them a dress . I will post them for you to see :-)
Well you know that safe place you put things and forget were it is ? I just had them out a week ago and put them away for safe keeping and can't find them lol I will post when I locate them :-)
They are so tiny it is easy to lose them!
They will probably pop up when you stop looking for them!
I'm looking forward to seeing your photos:) Do you have a wig for your little doll? I have looked at a few wig making videos on line and thinking to try my hand at making a human hair wig for the German doll with a cork pate.
