Vintage Topsy Turvy Doll. Measures about 12.5" in height. Very good condition. Has a wicker basket pinned to hand.
Discover the magic of classic storytelling with this charming 12.5-inch vintage Topsy Turvy doll. A beautiful example of traditional American folk art, this two-in-one "upside-down" doll features two distinct characters joined at the waist. By simply flipping the voluminous skirt, you can transform the doll from a young girl in a vibrant red dress into a sweet grandmother figure.
This handmade treasure features soft yarn hair, hand-painted facial details, and a unique miniature wicker basket securely pinned to the hand—a rare accessory for these types of cloth dolls. Topsy Turvy dolls have a long history as educational toys used to tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood and other folk tales, making this a wonderful addition to a nursery, a playroom, or a collection of nostalgic handmade toys.
This item is vintage, over 20 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
