Asian Character Baby
SOLD |

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.

Carl Bergner Multi-Face Doll
$1,250. |
 |
 |
 |
Life brings many moods, even for a small child,
so to accommodate the swing of life's daily atmosphere comes this Carl
Bergner character doll with three rotating faces. There is the content
grin of the smiling face, the agitated grimace and molded falling tears of
the crying face, and relief achieved with the peaceful sleeping face.
The head can be turned by just pushing the face around gently, as the
original turning knob on top of the head is not so easy to use. |
 |
 |
 |
The smiling and crying face have blue glass inset eyes, while the sleeping
face has eyes closed under the resting eyelids. The shoulder plate
is of paper mache or composition and it has cracks on the surface but it
is not fragile. The jointed arms and legs are also of composition
with the torso and upper thighs being of a stuffed, heavy muslin when two
pull strings that say "mama" still work very well. The peachy pink
dress and matching frilly bonnet are made of antique materials, with the
undergarments, stockings and leather shoes all antique. 17"
overall from the top of the head casing to the feet. |
