Contemporary Dolls

 


 

From the 50's to present day, these are "Contemporary" or "Modern" fashions.  A lot of years are spanned herein, and who knows what fashions the future may bring!  Thankfully, some of the fashions faded out into history, but then again, the old sometimes becomes the new once more....... 

Our dolls are not for children!  Please visit our Site Map for more information on our dolls.  They are all porcelain, very carefully hand painted using china paints, fired many times, assembled, dressed and wigged. Clothing is manufactured of fine silks, cottons, exquisite laces, real and "faux" furs, etc.  I create my dolls with love, just for you.  Custom dolls are available. See below.

 
Our dolls are all
