17 ” Porcelain Ashley by Helen Kish for the Hamilton Collection.
The Hamilton Collection provided the following information on Ashley: ” This enchanting portrait of childhood make-believe is vividly captured in “Ashley,”an exquisite new collector doll of such originality and beauty she could only be a Helen Kish creation-exclusively from The Hamilton Collection.
For her favorite game of “dress-up,” “Ashley” has borrowed Mother’s beautiful flowered gown and a strand of shimmering “pearls.” Her high-heeled shoes are “just a little large,” but “Ashley” thinks she looks absolutely divine!
“Ashley’s” softly-rounded features are crafted of fine bisque porcelain and delicately hand-painted and delightly exaggerated pose distinguish her as a Helen Kish original, a work so beautiful she bears the artist’s signature.”
I purchased “Ashley” directly from the Hamilton Collection in 1991.
