Product Description
Over the years collectors have often requested that the Lawton Doll Company issue some of their famous doll’s dolls as stand-alone editions. The wait is over. Mint-in-Box is a collection of these classic dolls dressed in exquisite costumes. Every detail of these miniature dolls is authentically recreated—whether it is kid bodies, tiny glass eyes, or an intricately crafted mohair wig. All the clothes are removable and all the details are accurate. Best of all, each doll is made by the finest porcelain doll makers in America and presented to you in beautifully designed boxes. These are treasures to keep forever or to give to your favorite doll. Doll: 6 and 1/2” porcelain and leather Edition limited to 250 Perhaps the most prolific maker of what they termed bisque-headed dolls, Kestner made turned head dolls similar to ours in the 1870. This young girl is dressed in an intricate silk dress decorated with antique trim. She has a tiny mohair wig, inset glass eyes, and perfectly scaled leather shoes. She comes on a gusseted leather body and is tucked into a velvety pink box.
