This gorgeous Steiner came from the Mary Merritt Doll museum auction Oct. 1. She has lovely clear bisque and the quality you expect of a Steiner Here is the catalog description. " Figure A Steiner Child from France 1885 incised Steiner Paris Fre A 11, bisque socket head, blue paperweight eyes, closed mouth, finely painted brows and lashes, pierced ears, dark brown replaced mohair wig, French jointed composition body, nicely dressed in antique silk with bonnet and antique white leather shoes." What I see is a lovely silk dress that is faded in the front and beginning to melt near the waist.The silk hat is showing a small amount of wear on the brim. Her hands appear to be repainted in the past. Her head is marked correctly and her body is marked with a 7 which is a Steiner mark and it does not appear to be repainted. One shoe has lost a buckle. She looks great for being well over 100 years old.
