Antique doll & baby
The doll has a china or porcelain head and arms, not sure about the legs. I don't know who made the item and I cannot find any markings other than 3 very tiny "holes" at back of neck, front chest, and right shoulder area. I appears to be in good condition with no damage. I believe the clothing is original. There is also a white porcelain baby which has a broken off leg and hands.
8" tall and about 3" arm to arm with arms by doll's side. The baby is 2" high.
Inherited
