Antique Porcelain Doll
Antique Porcelain DollThere's a special place in the world of antiques for antique porcelaindolls. Works of art in miniature, antique porcelain dolls are aportrayal of fashion and self-concept for the age they were created in.Antique porcelain dolls are both delicate and surprisingly durable. Itis a wonder that any of these dolls survived the ages at all,considering that they were created as a plaything for children! Nodoubt many of them were played with a great deal by the little girlsthey belonged to, our great-great grandmothers, in years long past. Itis just as certain that many antique porcelain dolls were acquired justfor their beauty, to be put on display in a protective case and not forplaying with! These dolls hold their place as an art form.
As with most antiques, the value of antique porcelain dolls is tied closely to the condition they are in. Porcelain, while being resistantto decay, does chip easily. Paint can be rubbed off with excessivehandling. These mishaps are not unusual in antique porcelain dolls, andfinding a doll without them is rare. Antique porcelain dolls command ahigh price even with a few faults. The doll needs to be in goodcondition generally, and any repairs slight and unnoticeable. Whetherthe doll has its original hair and original clothing, and if the body isoriginal to the head and not a replacement, are all factors to beconsidered in determining the value of an antique porcelain doll.
