Mignonette with Extra Personality
$1875. |
 |
 |
 |
There is something extra ordinary about this
6", ginger-haired all bisque girl with her
slim, mignonette torso and limbs, pale, early bisque, dark blue glass eyes
and closed smiling lips. She is most probably from a German maker like
Gebruder Kuhnlenz for the French market, as she could easily stand next to
her BTE friends and add some spice and personality to the setting.
Could it be her long, red mohair wig of curls? |
 |
 |
 |
In addition to having a swivel neck, add having her elongated, slim limbs
jointed at the shoulders and hips, she has molded two strap black shoes and
a rare, pumpkin stocking color with to contribute to her perkiness. At
the front of her torso at the neck rim, there is a minute shaving of bisque
that is not distracting but must be mentioned. For clothing, she wears
an antique frock of fine white cotton with lace inlay and antique cotton
pantaloons underneath. |
