Porcelain Doll by Gerald La Motte: 8 1/4-inches tall
Porcelain head, fore-arms, and lower legs/molded boots; cloth body
Molded and painted features and details: signed G. La Motte 59
Notable doll artist Gerald LaMotte created dolls and limited Teddy Bears in the 1950s. Each doll was a work of art. He did not duplicate his designs, but rather chose to make one-of-a-kind dolls. And he would buy original antique dolls, make a mold, produce a limited amount of the dolls from the mold, then break the molds. LaMotte was a member of National Institute of American Doll Artists.
This doll by La Motte is after an antique bonnet head that had pink, green and blonde for the bonnet and hair color and a gold knot for trim on the hat bow.
