    Description

    This is a 21-22 inch doll with head of bisque porcelain according to the info from the link provided (copy paste to learn more about the Alresford doll company.
    There is a triangle mark on back with AC I ENGLAND impressed and some initials which according to the records is the person who painted the doll.  I cant read (maybe TC) (see close photo). Made by the Alresford crafts and doll company England in the 1970s. https://alresfordmemories.wordpress.com/2016/03/18/alresford-crafts-dolls-head-markings/
    Cotton body has some brown age spots called foxing but no odors, rips or weakness.
    Head looks airbrushed and then fired and eyes look like antique glass eyes, they are blown glass blue spiral eyes.
    She / he has beautiful feet and hands which are modeled, blushing and in perfect condition.
    She comes with dress and matching slip from the 50-60s cotton made in Phillipines light blue with scalloped embroidered edges and embroidered design.
    Doll has no chips or cracks, just the faded out age spotting on the body
    I can fold this cutie for shipping and I pack well (all ceramic wrapped in large bubble) but it will be a rather large 4-5 pound package)
    (clean braid rug in background is not used for foot traffic, it is used as a backdrop rug only for photography)
