Porcelain Musical Sailor Doll

This is a porcelain doll dressed in a sailor-style outfit, designed to play Christmas music. The doll features a bisque or glazed porcelain head, hands, and feet, exhibiting a fair skin tone. Its face is finely crafted with painted blue eyes, light eyebrows, and rosy cheeks, along with a small, closed mouth. The doll has short, straight blonde hair, likely synthetic, with a small blue bow tied on its head. It is wearing a dark blue sailor dress with white trim along the collar, short sleeves, and hem. The sailor collar is large and features two white stripes, extending from the front to the back. A prominent white satin or grosgrain ribbon is tied in a bow at the front of the dress below the collar. The dress also has white trim or lace peeking out from beneath the skirt. The doll's feet are adorned with what appear to be light-colored shoes or booties, possibly made of felt or a soft fabric, suggesting they are part of the doll's permanent attire rather than removable footwear. The doll stands on a light blue or gray circular base, which is likely part of its musical mechanism. Given the musical function and overall aesthetic, it likely dates from the late 20th century to early 21st century, consistent with a decorative collectible item rather than an antique plaything. No visible manufacturer's marks are discernible from the image, nor are there any obvious condition issues like chips, cracks, or significant wear to the porcelain. The fabric of the clothing appears clean and intact, and the hair is neatly styled. The quality indicators point to a mass-produced collectible doll, suitable for display, particularly during the holiday season due to its musical feature.
