Doll 1 – Marie Antoinette-Style Lady with Original Decorative Pincushion An elegant vintage porcelain half doll featuring a lady with an elaborate powdered grey hairstyle, inspired by 18th-century aristocratic fashion.

The cushion is particularly decorative, featuring: * Yellow embroidered floral garlands with green leaves running along the skirt. * Delicate lace trimming around the lower edge. * A generously gathered, bell-shaped skirt reminiscent of historical court dresses. * Soft, muted colours that complement the porcelain figure. The combination of porcelain and textile work makes this an attractive example of a traditional decorative pincushion doll.

Doll 2 – Marie Antoinette / Renaissance-Style Lady – FOREIGN Marked A charming vintage porcelain half doll depicting an elegantly dressed lady with an elaborate blonde powdered hairstyle and long curled ringlets. She wears a yellow dress with white ruffled sleeves and a pale blue shawl draped across her shoulders.

The figure has finely painted facial features, softly coloured cheeks and attractive pastel detailing. The original sewing holes are visible around the porcelain base. Marking: FOREIGN Dimensions: 6 × 3 × 2 cm Condition: Excellent vintage condition, with no chips. Condition of the Collection Both dolls are in excellent vintage condition, with no visible chips to the porcelain.

Collectors’ Interest Porcelain half dolls were popular decorative and functional accessories during the early 20th century, frequently incorporated into pincushions, dressing-table accessories and other textile creations. Examples retaining their decorative fabric skirts are particularly appealing to collectors interested in the combination of antique porcelain and historical needlework. This attractive pair offers two complementary examples of historical costume-inspired porcelain figures, including one complete decorative pincushion doll. Sold together as one lot of two vintage porcelain half dolls.
