Antique Kestner 143 Bisque Doll – 9” – Tiny Size – Blue Spiral Sleep Eyes~ BUNNY
🐰 Tiny Treasure: Antique Kestner 143 – Just 9 Inches of Pure Sweetness 🐰
Meet this absolutely adorable Kestner 143, a tiny 9” antique doll that fits right in the palm of your hand. She has a delicate bisque head and a charming composition body, with dreamy sky-blue spiral sleep eyes that still work perfectly and two sweet little teeth.
She wears her antique batiste and lace undergarments, and her original antique human-hair wig in warm brown tones is styled in two tiny braids tied with soft blue ribbons.
I dressed her with love in a hand-sewn white fluffy jacket with lining and matching white fluffy boots, decorated with tiny blue beads. To complete her look, I knitted a soft white “bunny” hat with little ears just for her 🐇
In her arms she holds her little pink teddy bear friend, always ready for cuddles.
She is truly miniature, unbelievably sweet, and full of antique charm — a tiny soul with a very big heart. 💙🧸
