Ashton Drake Victorian Harmony Collector's Doll

Ashton-Drake Galleries Handcrafted 20-inch porcelain doll with pillow  - “Victorian Harmony” From the A Joy Forever Collection by Cindy McClure 1996   Costumed in a superb example of turn-of-the century infant finery, rich in details that only quality hand-tailoring can create. She wears an ecru dress with a magnificent lace-edged tuxedo collar. Slate-blue rosettes add a nice touch of contrasting color and perfectly match the ribbons that cascade from her bonnet. The selection of luxurious fabrics is accented with such features as ribbon embroidery, shirred seams, and smocking. She’s comfortably settled against her matching pillow, where an antiqued charm bearing her name is sewn.   This is an original issue in the collection named A Joy Forever by artist Cindy McClure and issued by the Ashton-Drake Galleries. The edition of Victorian Harmony ended forever in 2000, at which time molds for this doll were broken, never to be cast again.    Doll has been stored and not played with. Comes from a smoke free home.   Missing original box and certificate.   Offers welcomed!
