Presenting: A “One of a kind” doll, entirely made by Emily Hart, including all porcelain parts & cloth body, the doll completed in 1995, however, the costume was not completed until September of 2023.

Here you have a rare opportunity to get one of my very finest modern dolls.

I decided she looks like a Gypsy so I added a little wooden Violin accessory for her to hold. This comes with the doll.

This doll was made from the “Zelma” mold set of head, shoulderplate, lower arms, lower legs, with cloth body, originally sculpted by Roelie Broeksma-Muller and the molds made by Seeley’s.

This doll was poured in Seeley’s “Lady White” porcelain with wonderful China painting in many layers with firings in between, featuring “dimensional painting”, she has painted eyes.

She wears a necklace of turquoise stone beads and gold-plated filigree beads.

I used a natural wave mohair wig in light Auburn color, and put tiny braids in the front.

Her body is strong 100% cotton muslin, and arms have wire armature inside so they can be slightly bent at the elbows, hips, and knees.

I made a stunning full-length dress made with pure Viscose Rayon fabric featuring a designer print. I use an abundance of Genuine Antique metallic gold trim at the neckline, hem, and on the sleeves, and added an incredible hand-beaded belt to the waist. I put a net scarf around her head so she looks a bit like a Gypsy.

To compliment this extraordinary dress, I made her DELUXE undies in black pure cotton Swiss Dot Batiste fabric and trimmed them in French laces. All seams are French.

She wears pure cotton socks and patent shoes trimmed with bows.

This doll stands 25 inches tall.
