13″ Porcelain “A Party for Sarah” by Patrica Rose. The doll was advertised 1992 in Parade Magazine and her ad came with the following information:
” Her big day has finally arrived! As you can see, Sarah has been waiting a long time for this special day…the gleam of anticipation is in her pretty blue eyes. It’s not every day that a girl celebrates her 6th birthday.
This cherish memory has been captured forever in the fine bisque porcelain by artist Patricia Rose, a 1991 winnner of the Dolls magazine Award of Excellence. Her dolls are sought by collectors worldwide because of their fine features and lifelike qualities…like those found in Sarah.
Experienced dollmakers bring Sarah to life. Her hand-set blue eyes are enhanced with geniune lashes, red lips. rosy cheeks , eyebrows, and even her fingernails are meticulously handpainted.
Sarah is all dressed up from head to toe, so she party perfect. Since Sarah is a big girl now, her mother let her pick out her own dress. It’s trimmed with lace and satiny ribbons, and there are little pearl beads around her neck just like Mommy wears! Sarah even found shoes with rosettes, ribbons, and pearls to match. And, how pretty she looks with her hair up in braids, adorned with ribbons and flowers.

I purchased Sarah in 1992 from the advertisement in the Parade magazine.
