Brazilian Galleries 'Gentle Affections' Tender Moments Porcelain Doll Set

This item is a set of two porcelain dolls, likely part of the 'Gentle Affections, Tender Moments' collection by Brazilian Galleries, as indicated by the insert visible in the upper right. The dolls appear to be new in their original box, nestled in white tissue paper and protective packing materials. The larger doll, positioned on the right, wears an elaborate, floor-length gown primarily in a soft lavender or pale purple hue. The dress features extensive white lace overlays, particularly visible on the skirt and sleeves. There are some peach or light coral ribbon accents, possibly on the sleeves or as trims. A large, possibly stuffed or padded, pearlescent white element is visible between the doll's legs, likely part of an undergarment or packaging to maintain the dress's voluminous shape. The doll's head is partially obscured but appears to have dark hair and fair skin. Her face is protected by a yellow wrap around her neck and lower face. The smaller doll, positioned to the left, is dressed in a light pink gown that also features white lace trim, especially along the hem and collar. This doll has blonde or light-colored hair, gathered with a white lace bonnet or hairpiece. Her arms are articulated, and her facial features are delicate, typical of porcelain dolls. Both dolls appear to be crafted from bisque porcelain for their heads, hands, and possibly feet, with soft bodies. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with attention to detail in the outfits. The box itself is brown with a red and white polka-dotted trim along the inside edge of the lid. The overall condition appears excellent, suggesting the set is either new, unused, or very well preserved.
