She was given to me @ in 1965 while living in Taiwan by my father. She has been kept in her glass doll case since then. Excellent shape. Should I ensure her?
Brand new doll when given in @1965. Received three, but the other two do not have markings. There was a man on base in Taiwan who would push his two wheeled cart throughout the neighborhood selling the dolls.
Hello Nancy,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with MeArto. I hope you are doing well and staying healthy in these uncertain times. I very much apologize for the hours delay in your appraisal for this item.
The item presented appears to be a Nishi and Co. LTD. Nishi Doll in the style titled "Snow Queen." Nishi Dolls were produced during the early and mid 20th century and are considered collectible items. Based on the photos uploaded the item appears to be in very nice vintage condition, minor toning to the fabric due to age. You have done a great job in conserving the doll.
The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of the "Snow Queen" and other Nishi Dolls. Thank you and please take care.
