Fabric Doll Appraisal

Fabric Figural Doll with Winter Attire

This is a fabric figural doll, likely handmade or produced by a small craft company, characterized by its soft body construction. The doll features a light-skinned face with rosy cheeks, an implied nose, and small, closed-mouth smile, all presumably embroidered or painted details. Its hair is fashioned from a mass of tight, reddish-brown curls, suggesting yarn or similar fibrous material. The doll is dressed in winter-themed clothing, including a deep red or maroon knitted sweater with lighter colored polka dots and a matching, solid-colored skirt. A vibrant lime green knitted scarf with variegated multicolored accents is wrapped around its neck. The lower legs are visible, clothed in a vibrant purple material, and the doll is wearing brown cowboy-style boots with decorative stitching on the shafts. Additionally, a pair of miniature white ice skates with silver-colored blades are dangling from the doll's left arm, suggesting a playful or seasonal theme. A small, orange, plush creature or accessory is also tucked near its arm. The craftsmanship appears to be folk art or craft-oriented, with visible stitching and material textures. The condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant wear, tears, or damage; however, a precise assessment of wear would require closer inspection. The colors are bright and well-maintained. The item appears to be from a contemporary craft period, possibly late 20th or early 21st century.
