Going back in time: Victorian Dolls

Porcelain dolls continue to be a popular collector’s item. Collecting them is a charming hobby and gives me an opportunity to have beautiful girls to look at home. Until now, I still love the looks of these collectible beautiful porcelain dolls. Here they are:

For some, porcelain dolls could be one of the scariest collection. For me, they are precious and I’m willing to spend time hunting for the perfect dolls. At the age of 8, I got my 1st porcelain doll from my Ninang and I named her Jesse:
Yes, looks like she’s still in good condition but her right foot has a crack already. Sadly, it was shipped here in the Philippines with damage but still, she’s my most favorite doll. And priceless. Whn I was young, I didn’t know how to take care of her that I threw the box and authenticity card.
Stored in a glass cabinet for almost 12 years, my problem now is how to restore her eyes and curls. When I have time I’ll take her to an Antique Doll Repair House for a checkup.
Here’s Peachie, the doll that I got from my sister as a present for having good grades at school when I was still studying:
There is nothing quite like a Victorian porcelain doll to really show off a beautiful outfit! She looks so antique and I love it! More Victorian dolls:
Lucida

Melissa:

Isn’t she photogenic? She’s about 22″ tall. I bought her a week before pay day cos my sister said it will be gone from the store a week after XD And to my uber excitement with my 1st huge doll, I lost my phone on our way home u_u
My boyfriend also bought one for me โ™ก
Agatha
My other sister then bought a 22″ doll for me as a sign of support ๐Ÿ˜€
So victorian and lovely in red.
Miu Miu

Couples sitting in a basket I got for only $14! Kiss โ™ก Kiss!

The richest and most maldita doll, Ashley – the murderer at night.


Blonde and has freckles on cheeks. My sister told me she looks naughty. So one night, Ashley and I sneaked to my sister’s room and took a pearl necklace from her drawer. The next day when she saw my doll she said “Hey, that’s my necklace!”. I answered, “Yeah, she’s naughty right? We stole it last night from you. Haha!”

The family’s getting bigger, they need a maid! hahaha! Here’s Becky:

The 2 foreigner bisque dolls in boxes, Charlotte and Coline:

I also got life size 26″ baby dolls in mint condition from a collector: Alice and Caroline

Actually it is a good investment in the future but I don’t have any plans of selling them. Someday, I’ll pass it to my future daughter. Maybe ;p

I have one doll which is almost 20 years of age.. her name is Linda a gift i got from my father when he was still working in KSA i was saddened because my 3year old daughter accidentally broke her legs.. i still keep Linda but i dunno if where i could take her to repair her legs..
