Vintage Peddler Doll, Lots of Tiny Dolls, Artist Handmade
Price: US $280.00
This is an exceptionally well made artist doll; she is 12\" tall and made by NIADA Doll Artist Becky Nesbett in 1971. (National Institute of American Doll Artists)  The face has been painted to set the sculpture. The Peddler has inset blue glass eyes with molded lids, fur eyebrows and human salt and pepper hair wig. The body is cloth over wire armature.

The clothing is made of vintage textiles. The dress is blue with white floral design and has faded on the right side where apparently the doll was exposed to sunlight. There are tiny bead \"buttons\" down the top of the shirtwaist, with white collar and cuffs with scalloped edges. A pretty cameo is in the center of her collar. Over her dress she is wearing an off-white apron which can hold additional dolls. She has a golden petticoat with red and white flowers in a brown diamond design. Both her dress and petticoat are lined. Her pantalettes are white cotton with lace edging.

The Peddler Lady is wearing black leather button boots, a white lace edged cap, and a navy blue wool cape with red crepe lining. She carries a woven basket which has 13 tiny dolls, no larger than 1 1/2\" tall, 2 books (one has illustrations inside), 4 teddy bears. In the basket is a label \"Dolls by Cathy Hansen\", but I do not know which, if any dolls, that is referring to. Many of the little dolls are handmade. The items are not affixed to the basket.

This is one of the better Peddler Dolls that I have seen, with a great basket of goodies. She is in great condition, considering her age.
