Bisque Dolls Appraisal

Pair of Collectible Bisque Porcelain Dolls in Original Boxes

This item consists of two collectible bisque porcelain dolls, each housed in its original, light pink cardboard box. Both dolls appear to be of similar design and possibly from the same collection, indicated by the 'Collectible Porcelain Dolls' branding visible on the box fronts. The dolls feature bisque porcelain heads with finely painted facial features, including blue eyes and rosy cheeks. Their hair is blonde, styled in curls or ringlets, and appears to be synthetic. Each doll is dressed in an elaborate costume, predominantly featuring shades of blue and white, with lace and ruffled accents, suggesting a vintage or historical fashion style. The doll on the left wears a striped blue and white dress with a ruffled collar and possibly a bonnet or a large bow on her head. She also has some faux fur or similar material draped around her, possibly a stole or trim. The doll on the right sports a darker blue outfit with white lace trim, a white lace apron with an embroidered or applied blue flower, and a detailed blue bonnet with white lace. Both dolls have articulated limbs, likely made of porcelain up to the elbows and knees, with fabric bodies. The boxes show some signs of wear and tear, including creasing and minor damage, particularly around the corners and edges, but appear largely intact. The dolls themselves seem to be in good, unused condition, consistent with being stored in their original packaging. The craftsmanship indicates mass-produced collectible dolls, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. The attention to detail in their outfits and painted faces suggests a quality typical of decorative porcelain dolls.
