"Great American Women" Pocahontas Historical Figurine / Doll Miniature

Description: This listing is for a china (porcelain?) figurine doll authorized by the United States Historical Society for the "Great American Women" Series, commemorating famous women in American history. The doll depicts Pocahontas. This doll is referred to as a "dressed half doll" because the doll has a head, torso, and arms, but not actual legs: her skirt covers a cone-shaped hard-paper/fabric base , with the hem reaching the floor. The original (from which the limited edition of 9500 dolls were made) was designed by the "master sculptor and doll artist, Virginia Orenyo". She is a famous doll artisan in the dollhouse miniature field. You can see her eye for detail and expertise in this figurine.Technically, this doll was likely issued as and intended to be a collectible figurine, as there are numerous additional "Great American Women" (and other historical series) figures. However, given its size (appropriate for 1:12 scale) and its lovely details, thanks to Virginia, it can serve quite well as a dollhouse doll in a one-inch scale setting. Obviously it is not poseable.This Pocahontas figure has black hair, brown eyes, and a tan brimmed hat hand-painted on. The gold-trimmed black bodice and sleeves are hand painted onto the ceramic body, with white fabric lace on the cuffs, and collar. Her rich dark purple velvet overskirt is applied fabric, with a dark purple satin underskirt. Her hat has purple & gold fabric trim around the crown and a purple feather rising from the crown.There is a Certificate of Authenticity (doll number 6829) in the original box. The box is in good shape with minor age-related wear. The doll is in excellent condition. It is possible it has been previously displayed by its prior collector, but there are no chips, damage, stains, or wear, and it comes with all its original packing materials. This is a perfect addition to your collection, whether you collect these historical figurines or wish to populate a miniature scene with this early American upholsterer, credited with making the first American flag.
