Buyer's premium:

This lot comprises a group of four miniature dolls, each featuring a molded porcelain head with painted facial features including green/blue eyes, red lips, and blushed cheeks. Each doll is adorned with a styled synthetic blonde or reddish-blonde wig, typically topped with a bonnet or hat embellished with feathers or glitter. Their limbs, appearing to be unglazed ceramic (bisque-like), are connected to soft, fabric-stuffed bodies via visible fabric linkages at the joints. The dolls are dressed in elaborate period-style costumes, evocative of 19th or early 20th-century European fashion, crafted from various synthetic fabrics such as satin-like material and knitted textures. These outfits are further embellished with lace, ribbons, beads, and small floral appliques in shades of purple, red, mint green, and peach.
Each doll measures approximately 12-15 cm in height.
