Antique Fulper Bisque Head Doll w/ Jointed German Composition Body ~ 20 1/2"

Description

A
ntique American-made Fulper Bisque Head Doll
w/ Jointed German Composition Body
The Fulper Pottery Company only made heads and we don't know what their regular source of doll bodies were.
So, we're not sure if the German Body was a more "recent" combination, but the proportions work very nicely together
.
Approximately
20 1/2
" Tall
There are two manufacturing "splits" to the rim of the head
and either another manufacturing flaw or hairline above the forehead
Blue sleep eyes are held into place with a poor plastering repair job
Eye lids are loose and broken, so the remaining
fragments
should probably just be removed
The German Composition body may be by Kestner ?
There are some repairs/repainting to the upper portion of the right leg and to the joint of the lower portion
The handmade vintage brown dress has a rip that we covered up with the apron/
pinafore
Replacement shoes and socks
Replaced slip and bloomers that could be improved
The vintage human hair ? wig is a bit messy.
We will carefully pad the inside of her head to prevent the eyes from moving during shipping.
Elastic stringing is in good condition.
The lovely doll has a few issues, but displays well.
