Have you looked longingly at a gorgeous 1890s Bru Jne, or an original Bleuette, but found that paying $4,000 - $60,000 was just a bit much? Or, if you wanted to “play” dolls you might not choose to use the antique that you bought for $10,000?  There are many reasons to purchase a reproduction.  And the quality reproductions are an investment in itself.  So when thinking about that beautiful reproduction doll, consider the next best choice. Quality, beauty and affordability are exactly what these antique reproduction dolls are all about. Each one is poured in fine quality porcelain and lovingly painted, fired and assembled by Carol Hanson.  Costume choices are available and will be made specifically for the doll that you choose.  Not all costumes can be duplicated exactly as shown on the site.  Duplicates will be made as close as possible to the pictures posted.  

Each doll, hand painted by the artist, consists of only high-quality materials. All dolls have imported glass eyes (unless appropriately painted), mohair or human hair wigs and authentic costumes for their era. Many of the fabrics used for the costumes are imported from Europe and all are natural fibers such as silk, silk taffeta, cotton, voile and batiste unless otherwise requested.

The artist resides in Medford Oregon, where she has a studio, so all the bebes are born in the Northwest!

All of the pictures in the "Portfolio of Dolls" will give you an idea that Carol can do. However, all of the available dolls are not shown.  If you have a doll in mind that you may want, it could very well be in our stock and we can E-mail you a picture. Also, the exact costume may not be reproduced in the same fabric or colors, so each costume can vary and will be made to fit your specifications.
