Green Victorian Witch Doll & Jack O Lantern

This an original porcelain doll by me!

She is in 1/12th scale, which is perfect for your dollhouse or miniature setting. She was in a private collection prior to this, and is a doll made a while ago, I think she has stood the test of time.

She is dressed in a green cotton Victorian underskirt & bodice, with pink flowers and tiny ecru leaves. Her overskirt is solid green trimmed in ecru lace & picot trim. Her pantaloons are white as is her petticoat. She is permanently attached to her 'Kaiser' doll stand. (Kaiser is a very well know and respected brand of doll stand)

She has auburn hair, with curls at the back, & soulful brown eyes. She has a single emerald colored pendant necklace. Even her Victorian boots which are painted & china fired on are green. She has a green witch hat, & a Jack-O-Lantern both of which comes with her.

Her very elegant pointed witch hat is removable, and it has many different kinds of feathers on it, there are guinea feathers, ostrich feathers as well as some others I don't know the names of. It is trimmed in green cording and finished off with a handmade silk rose to compliment the rose flowers in her dress.

Since her wonderful hat is removable you can place it anywhere in the dollhouse that needs a bit of elegant magic.

I have been calling her Arabella around the Studio but you can name her anything you would like.
A Note about my dollsAll my dolls are completely hand made in my studio by myself. From the first sculpture, to sanding, firing and painting through to the final touches. These dolls come from my hands into yours.They are inspected at each stage along the way for quality; any that do not meet my standards are smashed.All wigs are made on the individual doll from fiber dyed in-house. All clothing is made on the doll, no commercial patterns are used. Most silks are dyed in-house as well.This assures you of an artist original that is ACTUALLYmade by the artist, and I give you a Certificate of Authenticity to prove it. My dolls are made to be investments, & meant to be passed down through the family. Please note as with any fine art, care must be taken, they are fragile, and as such insurance is a must.My miniature dolls and other works have been pictured in Nutshell News. I will be presenting my miniatures occasionally, both my open editions as well as one of a kind works. As always, each piece will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
