Summary
A ceramic ornament doll. The doll is made entirely from a ceramic material and is moulded from one piece. Paint appears to have been applied directly to the white biscuit fired surface. She stands upright on her skirt which forms a base. She wears a yellow bonnet and has painted facial features with orange cheeks, and brown hair which is parted in the centre and peeks out of her bonnet. She wears a blue jacket with frills at the back which protrude outwards. She has her hands inside a yellow muff. Her skirt is full and is decorated with red checks with blue and yellow ovals inside. The skirt forms her base and is partially hollow inside. There is a brown label stuck to the inside of the base and it has text printed in black ink which is possibly in Russian.
