VINTAGE GEMMA TACCOGNA STYLE PAPER MACHE DOLL LIPSTICK HOLDER GOOD COND. MARKED

Description

Hello.  I am so pleased to offer a lovely vintage mid-20th century Gemma Taccogna style paper mache doll lipstick holder from my own personal collection.
She is seldom seen and is hard to find.
This lipstick holder is the only one exactly like her currently for sale on eBay.
She is a blonde with pink lipstick.
She is dressed in a blue outfit with green and purple leaves.
The doll's face, hair, and most of her front are undamaged and quite pretty.
There are a few spots of paint loss on her front but about the upper 3/4 of this area is mostly clean.
The doll has considerable areas of paint loss primarily on the back, where the base meets the body, and along the bottom edge.
There is a wavy vertical side seam on the doll's left side.  (See photo #4.)
On the upper part of her back, there appear to be two short intersecting hairlines which can only be seen upon close inspection, one being virtually invisible.
They do not go all the way through to the inside.
The inside of the doll's top and bottom halves is bright and shiny.
Her dimensions are 4-1/4" h  x  3/4" w  x  3/4" d.
Her bottom is marked with an intact paper label saying JAPAN.
The doll lipstick holder displays nicely.
She is very attractive.
She will be packed especially carefully before shipping and will be fully insured.
Free shipping and insurance are for U.S. buyers only.
What a perfect gift for someone special who collects lipstick holders or dolls or just for yourself!
Thanks so much for looking.
