Why You’ll Love It
This 1:12 scale porcelain toddler doll by Joan Blackwood captures a wonderfully joyful little girl in the middle of an excited laugh. Her hand-painted face features crinkled smiling eyes, rosy cheeks, an open happy expression, and individually painted teeth, giving her a lively sense of personality.
Her light brown hair is styled into curly pigtails, accented with a decorative metallic gold lace headband or crown that gives her a festive, party-ready look. She wears a sweet floral party dress in soft pink, green, and blue tones over a pale background, finished with a cream lace neckline and coordinating lace trim along the sleeves and hem.
Her hands are raised near her chest in small excited fists, creating an animated pose that feels perfect for a birthday celebration or other happy childhood scene. Painted black Mary Jane shoes complete the look.
Perfect for
A birthday party, nursery, playroom, children’s room, family celebration, dollhouse party scene, or child character 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
