14 inches long

I grabbed this one without a second thought at the New Hampshire Antiques Show--all of those facets forming stars upon stars and the juicy ice cream flavored color palette just melted me

) Really a pretty one

Tiny Hand-painted Asian Doll with Embroidered Butterflies and Wonderful Hands curlicue basket 14 inches longA tiny doll, with the scale makes it all the more charming to me, as do those tiny pink butterflies embroidered on the denim colored blue dress! Hand painted face, and hand cut fingers of those tiny hands, my favorite part. I believe Chinese, earlyish 20th century. 2 5 8" t x 2 1 8" w. Good condition, no losses, just general light wear and a little age toning. Not especially fragile.
