Presented here is a very rare vintage one-of-a-kind handmade doll by Mary. She stands a little over 11" tall. The doll is sculptured, looks like an un-fired bisque, the delicate features are precisely hand painted, the hair I believe is made of dipped threads, it is swept in a fabulous Victorian up-do. The clothes are cloth, all handmade, they are dipped so they are firm but not fired. The gown is a soft rosy-rust tone, with a raised textured pattern and black medallion lace trim. It has a full sweeping bussel back She has a white lace blouse with a high collar and a cameo at the neck. She is holding a gray fur muff, this is textured soft curly fur. The hat is gray straw with a beautiful contour to the crown and a firm black bow at the front.She stands securely on the base which is hand signed by Mary. This doll was originally purchased in Solvang, California in 1975, Mary dolls were sold exclusively in small boutiques and carefully handmade one at a time by the artist. Very hard to find! Excellent condition, no notable damage.
