Gorham Porcelain Doll Collection – Jessica 1986 Musical

 

Jessica measures approximately 16 1/4" tall (including hat) and is dressed in an elaborately decorated peach and russet colored satin dress with Victorian era style. Beige and antique white lace adorn the dress. Her straw hat with a light wisp of boa trim is absolutely exquisite and has an elastic band to hold it in place. She has cream leather shoes  and stockings. Her self-winding music box places "My Favorite Things" and was tested to make sure it plays correctly (the winding mechanism is located on her upper back underneath her dress). She is in excellent condition (except for small glue stains on the toe of each shoe -  we think the stains can either be removed with a cleaner or touched up with paint or polish but we did not want to attempt it) She has been in storage in her original box for a majority of her life. She was displayed in a glass fronted cabinet for approximately one year in the mid 1980's.
