This is an outstanding and exquisite 12~1/2" tall antique doll made by Simon and Halbig early model 908 and marked or incised on the back of her head. Beautiful peaches and cream bisque head with rose blushed cheeks, lovely threaded blue glass set eyes . Masterfully painted upper and lower lush lashes with painted eyebrows.
Painted rosy lips, open mouth with square cut teeth. Pierced ears. Two sew holes near her crown, indicating an earlier model. A small area near crown where painting was missed. Lovely early straight wrist body composition jointed body with original
paint and original glossy finish. I have not removed antique socks and shoes as they are quite tight and I didn't think I could get them on again. Soles are marked 1/2. Antique or original

with an aqua sash and bow. Her lovely mohair wig is a vintage handmade mohair wig with curls and ripples which cascade to her shoulders, framing her face. Antique pate. Her French wire framed

highlight of any antique doll collection!
