Summary
A bisque, baby, doll's house size doll who is lying on a wooden bed with a separate cotton blanket. The doll has a fixed bisque head with moulded and painted facial details and painted hair. It has a bisque body, arms and legs, the arms are jointed at the shoulders and have been joined to the body by a metal wire. The legs are jointed in the same way and are fixed in a slightly bent position. It wears a white cotton skirt with a blue embroidered spot design over an all-in-one sleeveless, cotton, baby suit with shorts. It wears felt bootees and a lace bonnet. The 'single' wooden bed is painted white and has a high head and base board. Covering the top of the bed is a piece of pink fabric which has a printed orange diamond motif in the centre, a boarder of orange printed garlands at the sides and is trimmed with orange braid. There is also a separate square of white, woven, cotton fabric, presumably used as blanket to cover the doll. Total number of items is 3.
