Description
Heirloom quality Half doll Perfume Cozy! A darling German half doll antique reproduction representing a small girl holding a basket of lavender. Original antique half dolls were made to be used in a utilitarian manner; a tea cozy, a pin cushion, a lampshade, etc.. This half doll is a porcelain figurine consisting of the top half of a young girl which is sewn to a wire-framed hollow skirt which forms a 'cozy' that fits over a wood base finished with fancy rose trim and gold & silver braid. The base holds a pewter picture frame and a frosted glass perfume bottle.
The half doll is costumed with batiste and lace underslip, a striped purple silk skirt trimmed with a flounce of imported cotton lace and small silk bows. A vintage hand painted apron is tied in the back with a large silk ribbon bow. She carries a tiny basket filled with lavender flowers.
Original Half doll is available, contact artist.
