Antique Hertrwig 7 Blonde Blue China Head Doll Replaced Body Blue Ribbon Winner

Description

Many years ago I purchased a large lot of antique dolls from an estate sale.  They have been packed away all this time and not on display. This one is a blonde haired, blue eyed china head with a new cloth and faux leather body.  The clothes are sewn on and I have not cut them off, but will take as many photos as I can to give a full description. She has an incised number 7 on the back of her shoulder portion, and I believe she is a German Hertrwig made doll, circa late 1800's.  She roughly measures 5.5-6" across and 6" top to bottom.  Her blue daisy patterned dress is handmade of a gauze type material and looks authentic to the period, with lace and pearls and a huge blue satin bow in the back.  She has a tiny cameo at the neck.  The lacy underskirt looks to be made of antique material and lace.  This little girl was a Blue Ribbon First Place winner at the New Mexico State Fair in 2001 as well as Best Of Show Winner for the same year.  The doll has no chips or cracks, the clothing may need a little spot cleaning from being in storage, but I have found no damage.  Beautiful little girl to add to your collection
