A striking vintage Ashton-Drake porcelain doll with an exceptionally beautiful, delicately sculpted face and expressive blue eyes, dressed in an elegant Victorian-inspired wedding gown.
This graceful collectible porcelain doll by Ashton-Drake Galleries created from an original design by artist Sandra Bilotto. "Winter Romance" is part of the She Walks in Beauty collection and depicts an elegant Victorian bride dressed in a luxurious white satin wedding gown.
The doll wears a shimmering white gown with a fitted bodice, crystal-style buttons, soft feather trim at the collar and cuffs, and a full flowing skirt. A delicate bridal veil, styled brunette curls and finely painted facial features complete the refined late Victorian-inspired look.
The head and shoulder plate, along with the hands and lower legs, are crafted in porcelain, while the body is soft-filled for display.
On the back, beneath the dress, the doll bears the facsimile signature of the artist who created the design, along with a hand-numbered edition number, confirming its individually numbered limited-edition status.
A beautiful decorative piece for collectors of dolls, Victorian décor, bridal memorabilia or elegant porcelain doll collections.
