The Delicate Beauty of Porcelain Baby Dolls

Every little girl enjoys playing with dolls. Many young children like to pretend that their dolls are real babies. For ages, porcelain baby dolls were the doll of choice for little girls. These days, plastic and fabric dolls like Cabbage Patch Kids have replaced the porcelain doll, at least when it comes to play. This is a good thing, because porcelain is a breakable material. However, porcelain dolls crafted to look like babies are preferred by another group -- the grownup doll collector. If you are a porcelain doll collector with a new or established collection, consider adding the baby doll to your collection. You will find a great variety of dolls available in stores and on the Internet.

One of the finest brands of porcelain collectible doll is Ashton Drake. Ashton Drake makes baby dolls that look incredibly lifelike. Some of their newest offerings are the So Truly Real Collection and the Heavenly Handfuls Collection. The So Truly Real Collection features porcelain dolls that are so detailed, they look just like real babies. These dolls come complete with adorable outfits. Heavenly Handfuls are tiny porcelain dolls, which are so small three of them can be fit in your hand. They are a new kind of collectible doll that many collectors are clamoring over. You can find Ashton Drake dolls online or possibly in a store near you.

Lee Middleton is another doll making company that you may want to consider when shopping for baby dolls. Many retailers these days are carrying the Lee Middleton Newborn Nursery Adoption Center Collection. This collection offers porcelain dolls crafted to look like adorable newborns. These dolls actually come with an adoption certificate, which is a similar premise to the Cabbage Patch Kid. Also like Cabbage Patch Kids, it is a possibility that these porcelain dolls may gain in value over the years if kept in their original packaging with all papers included.

Porcelain baby dolls make great gifts for a special young lady. If you are shopping for a daughter, granddaughter or niece, consider buying her a porcelain doll. You just might spark her interest in collecting porcelain dolls. Many porcelain dolls given as gifts become beloved heirlooms that are handed down from generation to generation. For this reason and more, many people are passionate about collecting porcelain dolls for themselves or the young women in their family.
