All Tied Up in a Bow

In this season of gift wrap and ribbon, this beautiful belle adorned a big blue bow is most timely.  By Galluba and Hofmann, she is an unusual molded hair version of a wigged model.  Earlier this blog featured a series of bisque half dolls by Galluba with either wigs or molded blue hair bows and this factory appears to have done the same for some of its bathing belles.  Of excellent bisque, this beribboned beauty is 2.25 inches high and 3.25 inches long.  Underneath she is incised with a "400" number obscured by an air hole.


A close up of her face shows the typical Galluba features, including intaglio eyes with white highlights.


Here she poses with a larger wigged version.


This page from a Galluba catalog appears to feature lovely lasses with molded hair ornaments in the lower right corner.
