Dolls For Collectors Appraisal

Pair of Collectible Porcelain Dolls

This lot features a pair of collectible porcelain dolls, likely originating from the late 20th century, common as decorative or collector's items. The doll on the left appears to be a girl, dressed in a festive red velvet coat with white faux fur trim, suggestive of a holiday theme. She wears a tartan plaid scarf and a matching underskirt. Her blonde, curly hair has some frizz and disarray, visible particularly around the top of her head. Her face shows painted blue eyes and soft pink lips. Her visible legs are encased in white stockings and she wears small white shoes that tie. The doll on the right presents as a boy, characterized by his reddish-brown, shorter, shaggy hair and striking green eyes, also painted. He is dressed in blue denim overalls with visible distress and what appears to be white debris or paint splatters on the fabric, paired with a red and plaid flannel shirt and a red bandana. Both dolls have porcelain heads, hands, and feet, with soft, possibly cloth bodies. The visible condition suggests some wear consistent with age or storage; the girl's hair is messy, and the boy's overalls show superficial marks that could be dirt, paint, or general wear. No specific maker's marks or signatures are discernible from the image. These dolls are representative of the mass-produced collectible porcelain dolls popular in the 1980s and 1990s, often produced without distinct artistic merit but rather for decorative appeal.
