Collectible Porcelain Doll in Box

This item is a collectible porcelain doll, presented in its original box, suggesting it is either new in box (NIB) or has been carefully stored. The doll features a pale complexion, green eyes, and distinct reddish-brown, curly hair, indicating a 'redhead' characterization. Her face is finely painted with rosy cheeks and a slight, pleasant smile, giving her a cheerful expression. She is dressed in a light purple dress with a white floral or patterned print, featuring a white Peter Pan-style collar and short sleeves. The fabric appears to be cotton or a similar lightweight material. The doll's limbs appear to be constructed from porcelain or a similar material, with the forearms and lower legs/feet individually wrapped in bubble wrap for protection, indicating careful packaging methods. The body itself is likely cloth, a common construction for collectible porcelain dolls to allow for posing. The doll is positioned within a fitted cardboard box, lined with patterned tissue paper displaying what appear to be brand logos or decorative motifs. The overall presentation suggests a focus on aesthetic appeal and preservation. No significant visible damage or wear is apparent on the doll or its packaging, implying excellent condition. The style points towards a classic or vintage-inspired collectible doll, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, given the packaging and doll's 'cute' or 'childlike' aesthetic. The meticulous packaging further hints at a higher-quality collectible intended for display rather than rough play.
