    Hello doll people, Have you ever seen anything like this doll? She is large (26" long) and I think she is made of porcelain. IMG_4406.jpeg IMG_4405.jpeg IMG_4403.jpeg IMG_4402.jpeg IMG_4401.jpeg I don't see any marks. Her clothes are handmade, including a padded bra and fur trim, as well as handmade boots. Looking online, I see marionettes by Tony Sarg with very similar painted faces and sculpted hands. I do not find any dolls made by Tony Sarg. Can anyone help with age and possibly maker? Thank you!

    Boudoir doll?

    They are usually a little more fancy make-up & clothes wise, but...

    Her face is familiar,

    Gerry & Sylvia Anderson produced puppets and marionettes for the British TV shows, Thunderbirds and Joe 90 in the 60's

    To me she looks like a bunny boiler:D

    The modeling looks identical; the painting has minor differences. IMHO.
