Subject: Help identifying â€œArdisâ€ artist doll â€“ signed Robin 12/25 Ardis 97Hi folks,Iâ€™m trying to identify a doll I purchased in the 1990s. She is signed:Robin 12/25 Ardis 97She has a porcelain head, shoulder plate, hands, and feet; glass eyes; a mohair wig; and a cloth torso. She originally held a baby doll, and her outfit includes bloomers and a period-style dress (which I believe are handmade). Approximate height is 14â€. She was attached to her mother, a larger seated Ardis.Does anyone know if this is by Ardis Shanks (aka Ardis of Starcross)? Her work seems to match the construction and styleâ€”particularly the expressive face and wax-over appearance.If you recognize the doll or artist, or have experience with pricing, editions, or restoration, Iâ€™d love to hear from you. Thanks in advance. No tag, but I do remember her now-broken mother had one.
