Description

A collection of porcelain-headed collector dolls, typical of late 20th-century manufacture. Each doll features a porcelain head with hand-painted facial details and inset glass-style eyes, fitted with synthetic hair in various colours. The dolls are dressed in diverse period-style costumes inspired by Victorian and Edwardian fashions, constructed from materials such as velvet, lace, and floral-patterned fabrics. The group includes figures in ensembles such as a green velvet coat with matching hat and spectacles, a maroon velvet ensemble with gold-tone braiding, and a silver-grey and white lace gown. Other figures are dressed in floral and patterned fabrics with coordinating bonnets or caps. Several dolls are mounted on white circular plastic display stands, while a smaller figure in a yellow and blue outfit with a straw hat is unmounted. While items of this type are frequently associated with manufacturers such as Heritage Mint or the Cathay Collection, no maker’s marks or signatures are visible.
