Lot 333: Two Porcelain Collector Dolls in Victorian Style Costume
A pair of contemporary collectible dolls comprising one large female figure and one smaller male figure. The female doll is constructed with a porcelain head, forearms, and lower legs on a soft-filled body. She features fixed blue glass-style eyes with applied eyelashes and a blonde wig styled in ringlets. She is dressed in an elaborate light-blue satin-finish and lace Victorian-style gown, featuring a tiered skirt, floral corsage accents, and a matching wide-brimmed bonnet. Accessories include two rows of faux-pearl necklaces. The smaller male doll features a porcelain head and hands with a short blonde bobbed wig and fixed blue glass-style eyes. He is attired in a navy blue velvet-style suit with a wide white lace collar, gold-tone button detailing, white socks, and tan shoes. The male doll is mounted to a circular green display stand. Both dolls are housed within a large rectangular cardboard presentation box featuring a cream and gold floral pattern. No maker marks or signatures are visible on the porcelain or clothing in the provided views.
