Two Porcelain Dolls with Accessories in Original Box

This item consists of two porcelain dolls, likely part of a collection or set, presented in what appears to be their original packaging, a pink box with a red polka-dotted interior base. Both dolls have porcelain heads, hands, and possibly feet, with soft bodies. The doll on the left features blonde, curly hair, blue eyes, and rosy cheeks. She is dressed in a light blue satin-like gown with extensive white ruffled lace trim at the collar, cuffs, and hem, suggesting an elegant or historical style. The doll on the right has darker blonde or light brown hair styled in an updo and is wearing a long-sleeved cream-colored blouse with a high, ruffled neckline and a long, full dark blue skirt made of a velvet-like material. Her attire also evokes a vintage or historical aesthetic. A small red booklet with the text "Collectible Galleries" is visible near the dolls, indicating their potential origin or series. Additionally, there's a mini embroidery hoop with a white fabric piece embroidered with green leaves and white flowers, suggesting an accessory to one of the dolls or a crafting theme. Another piece of dark blue fabric, possibly a skirt or an apron, is folded and placed at the bottom left, featuring black lace and white ruffled trim. The overall condition appears to be excellent, with no visible damage or wear, likely due to being stored in their box. The craftsmanship of the dolls' faces, hair, and clothing suggests a focus on detail and quality, typical of collectible porcelain dolls. Their style periods seem to be late 19th or early 20th century, given their elaborate dresses and hairstyles. The presentation in the original box further enhances their collectible value.
