dolls - Anything In Particular https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product-tag/dolls/ From antique to vintage, from decorative to downright bizarre.

Our selection here consists of two "Dolly Daydream" dolls which stand approximately 13cm (5 in.) high and four outfits, a long gown, a pinafore dress, a siren (trouser) suit, and a coat. All are intact with no breaks or cracks, which is remarkable given their age and undoubted use. There is some paint loss to all of the pieces, which has been left "as is" as renovation would remove much of their undoubted charm. These are unusual and charming items and it is hoped they find a new loving home...

Dolly had different names across the world. "Miss Birdie" was Fethalite's version sold in Australia and Ideal Toys had their "Peggy" version in the US. The dolls came with slightly different outfits it seems, but are based on the same slightly hollowed out painted plastic doll figure.

]]> Japanese Kokeshi Dolls / Birdcage Ornament https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/japanese-kokeshi-dolls-birdcage-ornament/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=japanese-kokeshi-dolls-birdcage-ornament Wed, 16 Aug 2017 19:42:39 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=332 This cute vintage Japanese ornament is best adjudged by viewing our photos, but a description follows...

A charming little piece - possibly symbolic - featuring two miniature Kokeshi figures (a boy and a girl) standing underneath a stylised tree with flowers beside them. A parrot in a mirrored glass cage hangs above them. It's a diminutive object (just 12 cm / 5in high) and is really rather sweet.  We aren't sure of its age, but it does have the signs of being rather an old piece.
