DOLLS PRICE GUIDE:  Antique Dolls

BISQUE DOLLHOUSE DOLL
CHILD DOLL WITH MOLDED HAIR

SIZE: Doll Size is 4" tall

MARKS:  None.

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 1890s to early 1900s.

CHARACTERISTICS OF DOLL:  Doll is bisque with molded hair, usually with hairband.   Head, lower arms and lower legs are bisque; rest of body cloth.  Painted eyes.

PRICE:  $125-$165. 

COMMENTS:  These dolls are children for dollhouses; approximately 4" to the adult dollhouse doll size from this period of about 6" to 7".  I have found one of these small child dollhouse dolls as a flower girl in a wedding party; this doll is simply dressed in a cotton dress but I have also found them dressed delicately in antique outfits of fine laces.  These miniature dolls are hard to find with original cloth bodies, as the bodies are often very fragile.

MARKET REPORT: You can find better-painted examples of this doll.  These dolls appeal to miniaturists and antique doll collectors alike.
