Little Devil, the second in the Empty Nest Collection. I purchased the doll in 1996.
The dolls came with an information brochure which provided the following information: ” What makes a house a home? Why, the fun and frolic, the liveliness and laughter, the modd and emotions of– children! Carefree, playful, loveable, and bubbling over with personalities all their own.
Now award-winning artist Titus Tomescu brings back all the memories with his Empty Nest collection: six absolutely adorable miniature baby dolls in all-porcelain. each as a lifelike as a real little baby you know and love, with the individuality and expressieness you’ll remember from your own days growing up. They can be yours easily, affordably, and unconditionally quaranteed when you subscribe to the Empty Nest Collection.
Your subscription begins with “Little Sleepyhead,” the one in the family who just couldn’t get out of bed in the morning (you remember!) Next comes “Little Devil” with the devilish mannerisms of the born prankter in every family. There’s “Little Angel,” the goody two-shoes you could always count on…followed by “Little Shy One,” demure and sweet and just trying to come out of her shell.
Next comes “Little Strong One,” the playful one of the family who always wanted wrestle time with Dad…and finally there’s “Littlle Adventurer” with knapsack on his back and a head full of dreams, he’s the first to leave the nest and set out on his own.
With the skill of a master, Mr. Tomescu capyures every detail in miniature all-porcelain! You’ll marvel at the modeling of each doll’s arms, legs, and tummies-plump and round and as smooth as a real baby’s skin. Sparkling eyes and smiles are brightened by warm fleshtones, handpainted to enhance their loving personalities. Complete with costuming and costuming and accessories shown.”
