Princess Diana Porcelain Collector Doll in Midnight Blue Velvet Gown

This is a fine bisque porcelain collector doll depicting Diana, Princess of Wales. The doll is approximately 16 to 18 inches in height and features hand-painted facial details with a soft, matte finish characteristic of high-quality porcelain. She is styled with her iconic short, feathered blonde hair and wears a reproduction of the famous midnight blue velvet evening gown designed by Victor Edelstein, which she famously wore to the White House in 1985. The garment is constructed from deep navy/black velvet with an off-the-shoulder neckline and a ruched bodice that flares into a ruffled skirt. Accessorizing the ensemble is a multi-strand faux pearl choker featuring a large sapphire-style center stone, matching blue earrings, and a small black clutch bag held in her left hand. The craftsmanship indicates a production from the late 1990s or early 2000s, likely by a manufacturer such as The Franklin Mint or The Ashton-Drake Galleries. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks in the porcelain. The fabric retains its deep pigment and texture without noticeable fading or fraying. The pearl accessories are intact, suggesting the doll has been well-preserved, likely in a display case away from direct sunlight.
