This is a sweet
little lady holding a bouquet. She is a half doll stopper that
was made for a Noritake perfume bottle. Typical vivid Noritake
colors and characteristic painting style. I have enjoyed her
as a part of my half doll collection, but I have seen her as
the stopper on a Noritake perfume bottle. If you have the
bottom part of the perfume bottle, she will complete your
bottle. If not, she will delight you as a Noritake half
doll.
Size: 1 7/8" Condition: There is a
hairline crack (see picture). It is very stable and difficult
to see unless you reflect the light just so. This doll/stopper
displays very well.

Carl Schneider
Pierrot half doll. He was the French equivalent of
the Italian Pedrolino, one of the characters in the Commedia
dell'Arte, a professional form of theatre that began in Italy
in the mid-16th century. He is a sad clown, always pining for
the love of Columbine, who inevitably breaks his heart and
leaves him for Harlequin. This rendition of Pierrot by
Schneider has the black scull cap and spit curls that
distinguish this character. Beautifully painted
face.
Size: 4 1/4
Condition: Alas, poor Pierrot not only
has a broken heart, he also has broken fingers on both
hands...perhaps the ravages of a 16th century case of leprosy.
You could make Pierrot happy by taking him home and loving him
"as is." (see pictures) | |

Comical court
jester half doll. Court
jesters were hired to tell jokes and
provide entertainment in European royal courts. Jesters
wore brightly colored clothes and hats in a
bicolored pattern. Their floppy hats were interesting,
with three points, each with a bell at the end. The three
points of the hat represent the donkey's ears and tail worn by
jesters in earlier times. This funny-faced jester
has a great face with rosy cheeks, a big nose and an
exagerated smiling mouth. Very nice unusual half doll
head.

Lamballe elegant half doll. The Princess de Lamballe was

This poor lady suffered a grissly death during the French

Beautiful
Pierrot half doll head. Pierrot was the French equivalent
of the Italian Pedrolino, one of the characters in the
Commedia dell'Arte, a professional form of theatre that began
in Italy in the mid-16th century. He is a sad clown, always
pining for the love of Columbine, who inevitably breaks his
heart and leaves him for Harlequin. This expressive Pierrot is
unusual because he is wearing a white scull cap
(traditionally, it is black). He has the typical spit curls
that distinguish this character. Beautifully painted
face with sad eyes and a slightly poignant
expression.
