With dark brown glass sleep eyes, an open mouth with two high upper teeth and ethnic features molded into the light olive color bisque, this adorable infant adds another international aspect to your collection. The nicely detailed, five-piece Kestner composition body is also painted in an Asian-toned complexion and it is even marked “Made in Germany” in red ink across the back neckline. The original, short black human hair wig sits atop the head and into the back of the colorful cap that matches the outfit, is attached a long black human hair braid, sometime called a cue. The two piece original silk costume does have some weak spots but is mostly intact.

Please make way for this phenomenal, 15” Kestner 221 googly who makes a statement without even opening its mouth! What a character with her brown glass, side-glancing sleep eyes, jolly watermelon mouth, and her cherubic, moon-shaped head with fine painting of features. She retains most of her original plaster pate under her original mohair wig of short, blond curls.

Her fully jointed, chunky toddler body has jointed wrists and is in beautiful condition with just some restoration to some of the fingers on the left hand. White cotton undergarments are beneath her comfortable chambray jumper with attached white blouse, her stockings are a fun red and white stripe and her light brown leather shoes, all being antique.

If you need to fulfill that last category in your collection of Kestner 221 googlies, or if this is your first Kestner 221 googly, please take note as this is not only a very large model (15''), but she is on a super rare Kestner body type. The bisque head with brown glass, side-glancing sleep eyes and watermelon mouth is on bisque shoulder plate that swivels, and the torso, upper arms and upper legs are sturdy, cork filled components.

Together with the typical Kestner rivet jointing, composition lower arms and lower legs and Kestner paper label on her chest, she makes for a proud addition to any collection. If you choose to cover this outstanding body, her multi-layered play clothes are fun and casual with a blue and white print pinafore over a heavy cotton, long sleeved dress that buttons in the back, to reveal her fancy cotton, lace trimmed, rear closing bloomers.

Her healthy, composition toddler body is fully jointed, even at the wrists and is very conducive to fun posing. Clothing is a simple, antique white cotton, two piece dress with light blue polka dots, her undergarments are antique as are her pale blue cloth shoes. Red straw hat with organdy ribbon trim is a vintage addition.

Darling in her navy blue, white and red print sundress, this shoeless Kestner 221 googly (11 1/2") is ready for the seaside! She has set, blue glass, side-glancing eyes, a watermelon smile on her jolly round face with flushed cheeks and her body is a fully jointed, super chubby Kestner toddler model.
