This little doll is made of stone bisque . They are usually referred to as Carnival Dolls as a prize . I have seen people call them kewpie or Betty Boop dolls she is neither . They were made in many sizes and by several companies . Here is what she would look like before she lost her paint . Date from 1920's to 1940's appx .
