Overview
This is a boxed collector-edition bisque porcelain doll named 'Jamie', dressed in a floral-and-peach prairie-style dress with lace trim. She comes packaged in her original shipping carton complete with protective bubble wrap, an envelope bearing her name seal, and a coordinating plush teddy bear.
Story
During the late 20th-century collectible doll boom, millions of bisque dolls were commissioned as keepsake heirlooms. This doll, complete with her teddy bear companion, remains preserved in time inside her original packaging.
Maker / Origin
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, companies like the Franklin Mint, Danbury Mint, Seymour Mann, and Georgetown Collection commissioned sculptors to design lifelike porcelain dolls. These were marketed directly through mail-order catalogs and magazine advertisements to enthusiastic collectors seeking modern interpretations of antique French and German bisque dolls.
Condition & Value
Appears to be in excellent, unused condition, still preserved in the original box with factory bubble wrap, packing inserts, and paperwork envelope. Excellent preservation helps retain maximum secondary market interest.
