This vintage porcelain doll is dressed in an elegant burgundy velvet dress with lace trim and a pleated skirt, giving her a Victorian or Edwardian-era aesthetic. She has brown hair styled in short curls with a matching ribbon, large glass-like brown eyes, delicately painted lips, and blushed cheeks. Her detailed facial expression and fine clothing suggest a collectible doll rather than a toy.

Some similar dolls were made as limited-edition collectibles, often accompanied by certificates or tags.
