Set of 2 Vintage Porcelain Half Dolls – Original Lace Pincushion and Wooden Peg Stand – Decorative Fabric Dresses A beautiful collection of two vintage porcelain half dolls, both presented in decorative period-style fabric dresses with delicate lace detailing. The collection includes a larger porcelain half doll mounted on a traditional fabric pincushion and a second elegant lady mounted on a wooden peg stand, dressed in a flowing lavender skirt with decorative lace and ribbon. Both porcelain figures are in excellent condition, with no chips or visible damage. Doll 1 – Elegant Lady with Original Beige Lace Pincushion A charming vintage porcelain half doll depicting an elegant lady with an elaborate upswept hairstyle, delicate hand-painted facial features and a soft blue bodice with pale pink detailing. Her graceful pose, with one hand raised towards her face, gives her a particularly refined appearance. The porcelain figure is mounted on a large, rounded pincushion covered in soft beige fabric, decorated with delicate lace trimming, floral embellishments and ribbon detailing. The generously proportioned skirt creates the appearance of a traditional full-length gown. The fabric and lace show signs of age, including some discolouration, consistent with the vintage nature of the piece. Dimensions: * Total height: 17 cm * Porcelain doll height: 7 cm * Cushion dimensions: 12 × 12 cm Condition: Porcelain in excellent condition, with no chips. Fabric shows age-related wear and discolouration, as visible in the photographs. Doll 2 – Marie Antoinette Style Lady with Lavender Dress and Wooden Peg Stand A particularly attractive porcelain half doll inspired by the elegant fashions of the 18th century. The lady features an elaborate powdered-style hairstyle with carefully modelled curls, a delicate expression and a beautifully hand-painted bodice in pastel yellow, lavender and white. Her hands are gracefully positioned across her chest. The porcelain figure is mounted on a wooden peg stand, which supports a full, flowing fabric skirt. The dress features: * A lavender satin-effect skirt with decorative lace panels * Delicate cream-coloured lace trimming * A contrasting pale cream patterned overskirt * A soft green ribbon tied at the back * A wooden peg support beneath the dress, with lace detailing around the base The combination of porcelain, fabric, lace and wooden construction creates a particularly decorative and unusual example of a dressed half doll. Dimensions: * Total height: 14 cm * Porcelain doll height: 7 cm * Skirt dimensions: 7 × 7 cm Condition: Porcelain in excellent condition, with no chips or visible damage. The fabric, lace and wooden support are present, with minor age-related signs of wear. Origin and Period * Origin: European, exact manufacturer unknown * Estimated period: Early to mid-20th century * Materials: Glazed and hand-painted porcelain, fabric, lace, ribbon and wood * Style: Marie Antoinette / Rococo revival * Number of pieces: 2 Overall Condition Both porcelain half dolls are in excellent condition, with no visible chips or cracks. The larger pincushion retains its decorative lace and fabric, showing some discolouration and age-related wear. The second doll retains its attractive lavender skirt, decorative lace, ribbon and wooden peg stand. Both pieces display delicate porcelain modelling, attractive pastel colours and elegant period-inspired costumes. Collectors’ Appeal Porcelain half dolls were popular decorative and functional accessories during the early 20th century, frequently incorporated into pincushions, dressing-table accessories and ornamental fabric creations. Examples retaining their fabric skirts and decorative accessories are particularly appealing to collectors, as the combination of porcelain and textiles creates an attractive representation of historical fashion. This pair offers two contrasting styles: a traditional large lace-covered pincushion and an elegant Marie Antoinette-inspired lady on a wooden peg stand. Both dolls are offered together as one lot. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and condition assessment.
