Limited Edition Ashton-Drake Porcelain Fashion Doll

This item is a collectible porcelain fashion doll, specifically identified by the hand-numbered limited edition markings on the back of its neck. The doll features a bisque porcelain head with a smooth, matte finish, adorned with synthetic blonde rooted hair styled in soft waves. A critical distinguishing element is the black ink stamp and hand-written sequence number '3411/5500 - 5500' located at the nape of the neck, indicating it is unit 3,411 out of a total production run of 5,500. Below the ink markings, faint embossed numbers, possibly '64', suggest a particular mold or series designation. The doll wears an elaborate metallic brocade dress in shades of vibrant pink and gold, secured with a visible pink zipper. The construction shows high-quality craftsmanship typical of the late 20th-century doll boom (roughly 1980s-1990s). The piece appears to be in good vintage condition, though the hair is slightly tangled and the porcelain shows minor surface dirt. Such pieces were often produced by companies like The Ashton-Drake Galleries or Franklin Mint for adult collectors rather than for play.
