Vintage Porcelain Chinese Opera Doll 24" with Peacock Hat. Measures about 24" in height while standing. Is pictured sitting on a stand, comes with stand. Very good condition but there is a crack on 1 foot. Has a few minor stains on clothes.
This porcelain Chinese opera doll is a striking example of traditional theatrical craftsmanship, standing an impressive twenty-four inches tall. The doll is adorned in a highly detailed costume that reflects the opulence of the stage, featuring layered silk-style fabrics, intricate floral embroidery, and metallic threadwork. The centerpiece of the ensemble is a magnificent peacock-inspired headdress that frames the doll’s finely painted porcelain face.
With its grand scale and cultural artistry, this doll serves as a premier "theatrical curiosity" for a library or a dedicated collection of world dolls. Its presence offers a sense of dramatic flair and academic interest, fitting perfectly within a Dark Academia or global-inspired interior. The doll is in very good condition and comes complete with its black display stand. There is a structural crack located on one foot, and the vintage garments show a few minor stains consistent with its history and age. These small imperfections do not detract from the doll's commanding shelf presence. It remains a soulful find for collectors of fine porcelain or those looking to add a touch of traditional Asian performing arts to their home.
