Yolanda's Heather Picture Perfect Babies by Ashton Drake Porcelain Doll

Yolanda's Picture Perfect Babies Collection by Ashton Drake Galleries "Heather" Porcelain Doll Limited Edition Second issue in the series Vintage 1986 New in original box (Box has some wear; please review photos) "Heather" is the second issue in the Yolanda's Picture-Perfect Babies Collection commissioned by the Ashton-Drake Galleries and created by Yolanda Bello for the Edwin M. Knowles China Company--the first series of porcelain baby dolls ever to bear the hallmark of the Edwin M. Knowles China Company. "Heather" is a charmer. She has just seen something wonderful, something she has never seen before and her face is aglow with the excitement of her discovery. Her mouth opens in an astonished O, and her legs kick up in delight. From the surprised arch of her brows to the dimples deep in her cheek, she is so realistic that we can easily imagine her scooting forward on her tummy in gleeful pursuit of her find. And we can also imagine her mother scooping her up into welcoming arms and out of trouble's way. Truly, Heather is a picture-perfect baby: a beautiful little girl who is every bit as much spice as she is sugar. Features: Head, arms and legs are hand-finished to a velvet-smooth bisque finish and hand-painted in soft, lifelike colors by talented artisans. The satin dress is exquisitely hand-tailored with single-needle stitching to make Heather, quite simply, a triumph of the dollmaker's art. Certificate of Authenticity included
