25" antique German F.W. Kister China Shoulder Head Doll w cloth body 1870

Description

Description:
This auction is for an "impressive" antique German china head doll. Reference shows similar dolls attributed to F.W. Kister in 1870,  Kestner, & Hertel Schwab also made similar dolls but her features seem to be that of "Kister & Co".  A heavy shoulder head with two string holes on the front and two string holes on the back, (light hairline on the front right by the string hole), all together intact but I need to mention, she has a  cloth body torso (a few light water stains), no odors, she has porcelain arms, molded fingers intact, fancy painted molded yellow and gold trim boots with gold ribbon ties, the upper legs are cloth as are her upper arms.  A beautiful "different" look to her Face with painted shaded blue eyes, red accent dots in the corner of her eyes, no white accent dots, she has black liner over the eye lid, coral liner over the black liner, no liner under the eyes. Single stroke black eye brows, she has a closed mouth with longer accent line through the lips with the upper lip is narrow with slight peaks.  Rose color blush accents her face. She has painted molded black wavy hair  with "unpainted" center part. I believe a flat top hair style.  Curls frame her face with sausage curls around the back. Some overall wear and paint loss on her hair.  Wears a charming two piece print dress with snaps down the back and at the waist, I believe hand crafted especially for this doll.  She is wearing a vintage corset that ties up the back.  Clothing is in nice vintage condition. This impressive China Lady doll would be a "Treasure" for your collection or display!  I have taken plenty of photos. Please look at my photos they will serve as part of this description.
