Excellent condition grandpa and grandma dolls. Original custom clothing No box or paper of authenticity . Cloth bodies and porcelain limbs,
45" high
My in-laws had these dolls and no one knows where they came from. Probably had papers but the estate was packed up and items divided, My father in law was the last to pass this last May at 98. Vet from WW11. We got the dolls (among other things). We have no idea what to do with them. I had no idea anything about them until i found the tags!
Hello Rhonda,
I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal,
Considering the photographs, overall pattern, porcelain quality and the colours, I concluded that this is a pair of Ashley Belle Porcelain Large Dolls. The piece dates back to the period from 1970 to 1990. The pieces were made in China as the rest of the brand’s pieces, mass produced. Both piece’s hands, feet and faces are porcelain with the rest of their body being of hard cloth material. They are in a fixed standing position. Interestingly their lips are painted yellow. Both have early mid-century clothes in good aesthetics and of average quality with a Khaki colour palette. Both pieces are decorated with details from glasses to hats and from earrings to bags. Both pieces are collectibles but since the brand mass produced many items they are not highly prized or sought after at the moment. The pair is in good condition with small signs of use and age.
