Presenting A Very Special & Rare Artist Doll

 
A special thank you to the wonderful people at SavinArt.com who allowed us the use of their picture!
Please visit their online shop today


I love antique dolls and vintage dolls, and all things little. We will have lots of dolls in these categories at the sale but will also have plenty of dolls for collectors who love all things modern. 
We would like to introduce Kristi . She will be for sale at the doll sale for those who love big babies and collect and love modern artist dolls. 
Darling Kristi was sculpted and made by Master Doll Artist Judith Turner in 09/1981.
This gorgeous chubby cheeks toddler is a whooping 27 inch tall! 
Kristi has an interesting history. She is the first doll sculpted by Judith Turner. She was made in a truly limited edition of 500 dolls. The Kristi we will have for sale is number 327/500. Because she is the first Judith Turner doll and limited in number she is very rare and desirable. Her collector price lists well over $2,000.
Of course she will be available at our sale for much less! 
Kristi is a true collector piece and a treasure in her own right.

Kristi Facts:
She is free-hand painted
Her head and limbs are made of the finest porcelain
She has a wired stuffed cloth body  
She is poseable and can stand or sit
Her hair is a long full chestnut colored beautiful human hair wig with bangs
Her gorgeous two layered dress and undergarments are of the highest quality white cotton batiste and lace
Her shoes are white leather with laces and she wears darling white lace trimmed socks
She is topped off with a sweet white silk bow in her hair

She comes mint in her box with her certificate of authenticity
She is hand numbered and hand signed by Judith Turner on the back of her head

If you would like more information on Kristi please post or email us. If you own one of theses very special dolls please post and share with us.
Keep coming back to see more highlighted dolls that will be in our March 19 and 20th sale!
