Vintage Bisque Porcelain Blonde Doll in White Gown

This item is a vintage-style collector's doll featuring a bisque porcelain head and forearms, likely with a soft stuffed body. The doll has curly blonde synthetic hair styled with a crown of curls and long braided pigtails secured with small blue ribbons. It features hand-painted facial details including blue inset eyes with applied lashes, arching eyebrows, and rosebud lips. The doll is dressed in an ivory-colored long-sleeved gown made of a lightweight cotton or linen-blend fabric. A significant feature is the elaborate cream-colored crocheted or lace capelet-style collar that drapes over the shoulders, embellished with multicolored fabric floral appliqués in shades of pink, orange, and purple. The item appears to be mass-produced from the late 20th century (circa 1980s-1990s), designed for the hobbyist or gift market rather than as a high-end antique child's toy. The condition shows minor wear, with some dust accumulation on the lace and hair, and general creasing of the dress fabric. No visible maker's marks are apparent in the image, though they would typically be found on the back of the neck or on a fabric tag attached to the body.
