Our Dolls

The line between art, collectible and play doll is not always very apparent. Some of today's play dolls are tomorrow's valued collectibles, and some dolls designed primarily for display, can also be delicately loved and cared for by a child. Many brands of dolls are both play and collectible, including the popular lines of Madame Alexander and the Ginny dolls by Vogue, the larger almost life-size Adora, Berenguer and Ashton-Drake baby dolls, and many more.

Art dolls are distinguished from collectible or play in that they are one of a kind or very limited edition studio creations, which have been produced by the hand of the artist in whole or in main part, such as the stunning wax over porcelain creations of Hildegard Gunzel, the incomparable porcelain children of Annette Himstedt, the poignant realism of Bets van Boxel’s porcelain ethnic children of the world, the evocatively feminine porcelains of Monika, and even the precision detail of the felt creations of R John Wright or Maggie Iacono. Doll artists sometimes apply idiosyncratic techniques, such as the painterly quality of Nancy Wiley, or the direct sculpt porcelain with wax overlay of Lucia Friedericy, or the paperclay sculpts of Yvonne Flipse. Some artists develop their own creative medium of art, such as the "cultured glass" of Pat Thompson's Vlasta Dolls, and the "shell cloth" of Linda Murray. Many have perfected the art of polymer clay, like the dolls of Elisa Gallea, Laura Scattolini, Avigail Brahms and Linda Kertzman.

"Dear Little Dollies" Doll Store is home to dolls in all of these categories, representing many of today's best doll artists. We hope our web site will acquaint visitors with the beautiful world of dolls.
