Vintage Bisque Doll | Sailor Suit & Hat Jointed Doll 15cm

Vintage Bisque Jointed Doll – Sailor Suit & Hat – 15cm

A charming vintage bisque jointed doll dressed in a traditional sailor suit and matching hat. Full of character and nostalgic appeal, this delightful doll would make a wonderful addition to a doll collection, vintage display, theatre prop collection, or decorative cabinet.

This bisque-fired doll features articulated arms and legs connected by internal metal bands. As a result, each limb moves independently and gently dangles when the doll is held. Furthermore, the doll sits without support, making it ideal for display on shelves, in cabinets, or amongst other vintage toys and collectables.

Hand-painted details include black eyes, rosy cheeks, orange-red lips, and light blonde hair. Pale blue detailing highlights the sailor suit, while light brown shoes with black painted laces complete the outfit. The soft colouring and traditional sailor costume add to the doll’s vintage charm.

Vintage Bisque Doll Condition

The doll remains in great condition for its age and retains its original painted details. However, it shows a few light marks consistent with age and use.

Please examine the photographs carefully, as they help illustrate the doll’s condition and form part of the description.

Construction

Internal metal bands connect the arms and legs, allowing each limb to move independently. Consequently, the arms and legs hang loosely when the doll is held, which is typical of this style of vintage jointed doll.

Origin

The previous owner informed us that the doll originated in France. However, we cannot verify this claim and therefore sell the doll without attributing a confirmed country of manufacture.

Please Note

This is a genuine vintage item and may show minor signs of age and wear consistent with its history. These small imperfections contribute to its character and charm and should not be considered faults.
