Judy Belle Limited Edition Porcelain Collector Doll

This is a fine collector's doll crafted by artist Judy Belle, likely produced for The Ashton-Drake Galleries or a similar high-end doll manufacturer during the late 1980s to early 1990s. The doll features a biscuit or matte porcelain head, breastplate, and hands, showing delicate hand-painted facial features including soft pink lips, thin arched eyebrows, and light flushing on the cheeks. Her eyes are light-colored, framed by applied eyelashes. A notable feature is the vibrant red-orange mohair or synthetic wig styled in tight, elaborate curls. Her hands are elegantly posed, showcasing fine sculptural detail in the fingers. The attire is a Victorian-inspired gown consisting of a pink brocade bodice with a floral pattern, accented by a blue ribbon and central rosebud. The sleeves and neckline are heavily adorned with ruffled cream-colored lace and embroidery. Accessories include a double-strand faux pearl necklace and matching stud earrings. While the overall condition appears good with the porcelain intact, the hair shows slight frizzing and the lace may have minor yellowing due to age. This piece exemplifies the 'modern' collector doll era, emphasizing decorative display quality and specialized materials.
