Vintage Papier-Mâché Doll W/ Red Hat Ornament • Mid-Century Americana Folk Art

Charming vintage holiday ornament from the mid-century era (estimated 1950s–1960s). This delightful storybook-style caroler or doll figurine features vibrant colors and classic vintage materials, making it a perfect addition to any retro, kitschy, or nostalgic holiday display.

Item Details: Estimated Era: Mid-Century Modern (1950s - 1960s) Origin / Country of Manufacture: Unmarked (no remaining sticker). It attributes heavily to mid-century Japanese holiday exports based on the specific lacquered crepe paper and construction techniques. Offered strictly as an attributed piece.

Materials: Formed paper-mâché/spun cotton body, hand-painted face, lacquer-finished crepe paper hat and dress, and a ruffled white tissue/crepe underskirt.

Dimensions: Approximately 3.5 inches tall (excluding hanging string) and roughly 2 inches wide across the base of the skirt.

Features: Original gold hanging loop securely attached at the top of the hat.

Condition Report: Great vintage condition for its age and delicate materials! The colors remain bright and punchy. There is minor paint wear and flaking typical of aged lacquer on the blue sleeves and hands, as well as very minor surface discoloration on the back of the white ruffled skirt—all of which add to its authentic vintage character. There are no major crushed areas or structural damage.
