I've never been able to find one of these before I've had it for over 30 years and I too found her in an auction box buried beneath a bunch of depression glass so I bid on. She was a happy surprise and now I get to know a bit about her after all these years thank you so much!

This lady is a young married woman, because of her bonnet, if she would be an unmarried young girl, she would have a bow in her hair. If she would be an older woman, she would have darker colours on her outfit, and dark blue/purple flowers on it. The fact, that she has 'kalocsai' style, comes from her kind of flowers (every landscape has different in our country), the style of her bonnet and tipically her slippers. <br />My mother said her head is from papier mache (it could be fragile, my mother unfortunately dropped her doll and the nose dented). I can't see on the picture if she has clothes on her head, it is pressed onto the papier mache. The painting is from a special paint or varnish.<br /><br />Best regards!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13660365290310619546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614891283281406611.post-81478973691117989772015-08-28T19:14:09.467-07:002015-08-28T19:14:09.467-07:00Thanks so much!

Are the cloth faced ones a special type? Is there a particular artist that makes them> The one I saw on Ebay was not identical to mine, but so obviously made by the same person or company. Like a sister with different colour hair and similar clothing.(Even the spotted stockings.)

I saw a doll on Ebay once that was obviously this doll's relative. It had the same tights, only in white, the same shoes, and a similar embroidered dress with an apron. Se had brown hair, and while she wasn't holding anything, her hands looked like she might have been originally. If they were souvenier dolls, they are very well made ones. Works of art, really.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947247063997873288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614891283281406611.post-51783325616527719642015-07-13T19:55:37.651-07:002015-07-13T19:55:37.651-07:00I saw a doll similar to this one when I was younge...I saw a doll similar to this one when I was younger! I think the dolls are handmade in the Ukraine or Russia, the tag on the doll I saw had writing like that. The doll I saw had brown wool hair though, and a tiny basket full of fruit!
