Greetings,
I have limited information on this doll. I purchased her some years ago on eBay. The previous owner had no information either.
I am interested in the maker or artist who made her, time period she was created and if she is a geisha or maiko.
I have found similar dolls for sale. The most similar features are the eyes, facial features, pearl earrings/necklace, hands, pink sash/red waist belt, feet, kimono fabric/butterfly design, a double stuffed hem, hair/flower accessories and base. Yet the pose and its significance I have yet to find out its meaning.
Some similar dolls state after WWll 1920-30 others state 1950-60.
Kazuko Spraull is the only artist associated with this doll design.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
This item is not for sell.
