Framed Bisque Or Cold Porcelain Doll Relief Figure Appraisal

Framed Bisque or Cold Porcelain Doll Relief Figure

This item is a framed, three-dimensional relief figure depicting a doll-like character, likely made from bisque porcelain, cold porcelain, or a similar ceramic/clay material. The figure is predominantly colored in soft pastels: pale pink for the clothing (dress, hood, shoes) and a very light yellow or off-white for the hair and face, with some white accents on the hands/sleeves. The character is portrayed as a petite or child-like figure, possibly reminiscent of a Cabbage Patch Kid given the facial features and soft aesthetic. She wears a hooded jacket or bonnet, a patterned or textured dress with a bow-like detail at the waist, and tiny shoes with bows. The face features impressed or sculpted eyes, a small nose, and a simple smile, with visible dimples or texture on the cheeks designed to resemble freckles. The hair is textured to suggest individual strands or curls. One hand appears to be holding a small, round object. The figure is housed within a shadow box frame with a gold-colored wooden frame and a white mat board. The mat board has a bevel cut, creating depth around the object. The overall construction suggests it's designed to be a decorative wall hanging. Visible condition issues include potential dust or debris on the mat and glass, and some minor surface wear on the frame. The material of the figure itself appears to be in good condition with no obvious chips or cracks, although the exact texture and finish suggest a delicate nature. The craftsmanship indicates a handmade or artisan-produced item, rather than mass-produced, valuing its unique character and potential for subtle imperfections. It has a folk art or craft aesthetic, likely dating from the late 20th century.
