Description: This Door of Hope mission doll is fantastic and all original. The doll measures just under 11 inch tall. The doll has cloth unjointed bodies with hand carved pear wood heads and lower arms with delineated hands and fingers. The Door of Hope Mission was located in Shanghai, China, and operated from 1901-1950. This doll was likely to have been somewhat early in the production years. Girls who were sold into slavery or prostitution by their families could seek safety in the mission and learn how to sew and make the clothing and bodies of the dolls and thus pay for their keep. The pear wood heads and lower arms were produced by male carvers in Ning-Po. The clothing, sewn by the rescued girls, is all original. She also has beautiful carved and painted facial features. She is all original and shows very minor wear from age. They are an important part of history and should be in every well rounded doll collection. This Door of Hope has black painted hair in a bun, and is dressed in her original outfit. Her wooden thumb is chipped on one hand. She wears beautifully decorated shoes. Made at the Door of Hope Misson in China. Buyer pays $12.01 shipping. International buyers pay through EBay’s Global shipping program. Please check out my other Door of Hope dolls that I have listed.
