BACKGROUNDOriginally, China head dolls were sold with just a head and sometimesarms and legs. Either doll factories ortheir new owners completed the doll.Flat Top shoulder head China dolls were produced in the 1860’s. We did not see any markings on this doll butwe think she may be German. This doll came from a local Historical Museum. Shehas a museum tag pinned to her slip.

HEAD Our old-fashioned girl has abeautiful paleround face with red blushed cheeks, pretty blue eyes, red eye lines and thinbrown eyebrows. Her sweet serene smileand pursed lips are a pretty deep pink color. She has a little perky nose.

Her molded black hairis parted in the center and styled in the Flat Top style popular in the 1860’s witha high brow line and a mass of curls on the sides and back of her head.

CLOTHING Our 1860\'s doll’s antique handmade outfit is quitespectacular! The design and colors are typical of Civil War era dresses. Her wonderfulcostume is made of three pieces – her bodice and matching skirt and a jacket.The 2-piece dress is handmade of a silk striped fabric. It has a fitted sleevelessbodice which accentuates this wonderful doll’s narrow waist and a floor lengthskirt. Her black brocade jacket has long sleeves that are trimmed with stripedsilk fabric. It snaps closed in the front. The skirt and bodice are sewn orpinned on so we did not try to remove them.

This lovely younglady is also wearing an antique white cotton half-slip and bloomers. Her highbutton black shoes are felt with leather soles.

BODY We are leaving the dress on this doll becauseit is delicate and it is sewn and pinned on her. We cannot see much of herbody. Her body, arms and legs appear to be made of muslin or cotton fabric. Shehas a narrow waist. Her hands are leather with outlined fingers. Her stuffingfeels like it might be straw.

SIZE Our china doll measures about 25 inches fromtop to toe.

CONDITION This 1860’s flat top China head doll is in goodantique condition. Her face is very pretty with blue eyes and blushed cheeks.There is a little paint loss on the back of her black hair. We did not noticeany cracks or crazing on her head or shoulders. Her dress is made of silk andis starting to shatter or fray mostly on the sides of the skirt. Her black brocadejacket is in very nice condition. One of her shoes is torn. Her cotton andleather body seems to be in good shape as well. We cannot see it all as herclothes are sewn on.
