Polichinelle
Twelve
inches of rarity! Take note, the hat on this Polichinelle is molded
as part of this wonderful parian doll's head! The hat is glazed and
gilded, where his face and hair are a bisque finish. Also wonderful,
is his original silk costume with gold tinsel trim! Beauty and rarity combined with this one. Circa 1860. SOLD |

| This
rare, German, papier-mache, two-faced Squeak Toy
hung on one of John's Christmas trees. Isn't it marvelous? The condition
of the paint finish is wonderful and the painting of the features...
brilliant! Best of all, it still squeaks! Measures 2" in diameter. SOLD |

Unusual
characteristics abound in this China with a
slit-head...an original wig, dress, apron and china limbs that include
detailed bare feet. Her coloring is as pleasing as a warm Spring day
and her expression is one of serenity.

Brown-eyed
China dolls are not the norm...perhaps that is why John Noble possessed
this pretty example with a lovely hairstyle that features rows of curls
to the reverse.
At 20-1/2 inches, this doll is a classic beauty and great care was taken with the painting of her eyes. She wears a simple, all hand-stitched, cotton dress with applied tape decoration, and very nice underthings. Her all-cloth, antique body was simply constructed. This sweet doll's condition is not perfect-her shoulderplate has been glued on the right side. The repair is however, totally covered by the dress. SOLD |

Touch
the edge of this unusual, bisque Nodding Child's blue dress and you
will set her in motion, rocking forward and back. The molding is deep
and crisp and the palette is soft and lovely, save for the brilliant
orange boots! Don't miss the long curls and hair ribbon to the reverse.
Circa 1865. Measures: 5-1/4" tall. SOLD |

Punch
immortalized in earthenware! This colorful, 3-5/8" figure captures the spirit of the legendary character of stage and print! Circa late nineteenth-century. SOLD |
