Featured Antique china head doll - help please

Oh my. I think I got that same one a couple weeks ago. I’ll have to take a photo ASAP.

 

She looks AMAZING to ME!!!! @Bookahtoo, are you using a hand-held phone or camera to take your pictures??? THAT seems to be causing some blurriness.....a simple tripod (cell phones fit on them too!) can solve that! Plain backgrounds are always best, I believe, with slight contrast to what you're shooting.....so your item stands out and doesn't blend in! I'm sure others can help you with that too, but can't wait to hear what others have to say about your doll!!!

 

I totally lied, lol. It’s not even close really. I just meant the head not the clothes but that’s not even a match. I’m not a doll person at all and this is the first China head doll I’ve had. I guess they just all look the same to me.

 

I don’t know how to report spam but, SPAM!

 

click the report button....at the bottom of the thread...
and then go watch tv...cuz the site is buggered...

 

@Bookahtoo..........

She looks OK from what I can see, but pictures are not good enough.....none of them.

@J Dagger ............can't tell with yours either. The doll needs to be undressed, and close ups of both front and back.

@Bookatoo........your doll would be older........by the hair style. But close ups of front back are needed.....completely undressed. Altho, you mentioned the underclothes may not be a possibility to remove successfully. However, a close up of them could reveal age.

 

@Bookatoo...........beginning to have doubts. Body type from what I can see seems to be different than what should be for the age. The shoes should be flat.

Questioning the gold necklace and bracelet...............

I will take a photo of what the body should look like on an early porcelain............

 

Even if not completely undressed, you should be able to tell if the body is like the photo......which is not good, but should help you.

 

Clothing could be made from antique fabric.

(sorry for such a blurry pic).

 

Another photo.

 

However, until your doll can be fully examined, one cannot be sure exactly what it is........original/repro.

I wish Sassy would reply.

I think Christmas Joy could offer much, but I don't think she is well as she has not posted in a long time..........has not responded to my PM.

@sassafras.......hopefully all is OK with you.

 

If I had looked at your photos carefully enough, I would have seen that the body on your doll is cloth, with porcelain limbs. Skip my body photos........my mistake.

Or was kid used also? (leather)

 

I think cloth..............

Did you look at the back of the head for signatures?

 

I don’t dare undress mine. I actually don’t think I would get them off in one piece, if at all. They seem to be secured and are very fragile. Mine is signed on the neck but I can’t make it out. AC may be part of the mark. Mine came in a mixed lot I decided to take a chance on just because the price was good and I was already picking up other lots from the auction.
