Why You’ll Love It
This 1:12 scale porcelain baby doll by Joan Blackwood is sculpted in a lively crawling pose that gives the figure a wonderful sense of movement and personality. The baby rests forward on its arms and knees, with one leg lifted slightly behind, creating a natural and playful pose.
The face has blue eyes, a broad open-mouthed smile, and a mischievous expression, while fine blonde hair is styled in a soft bowl cut with wispy bangs. The doll is dressed in a cream-colored textured knit top with matching cloth diaper. The soft neutral clothing keeps the focus on the expressive face and beautifully modeled porcelain features.
Perfect for
A nursery, child’s bedroom, family scene, playroom vignette, contemporary dollhouse, or miniature doll collection.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
