Have you ever given a gift to someone and have the concept turn into an obsession? This happened between my niece and me. When my niece, who is also my godchild, turned nine years old I gave her a porcelain doll for her birthday. I had bought the doll when I was on a business trip in Georgia. This particular doll was, of course, a southern belle. As with all high quality porcelain dolls the details were incredible. She had human eyelashes and hair. The satin dresses had yards of lace and ribbon as trim. I picked one whose hair color closely resembled my nieces hair. My niece absolutely loved the doll. She had never seen a porcelain doll before and she wanted to know everything about them. At that point I knew that she would have a collection, and that I would be able to add to this collection on birthdays and holidays.

My niece is now twenty-nine years old. She has spent the last twenty years collecting porcelain dolls. I am not sure how many she has at this time, but one entire room of her home is dedicated to the collection. She is always looking in the papers and online to find porcelain dolls for sale. She has many dolls from several different collections that have been given to her as gifts through the years by people that know she is a collector. When she looks for porcelain dolls for sale she is looking for a particular series of a certain collection. In her research of dolls she has discovered that the major manufacturers of the high quality dolls make a limited number of dolls in a series. Because each doll is hand painted and has human hair that is also put on by hand, there are no two dolls that are exactly the same. For the collections they will be dressed the same, but each has their own personality and look because of the hand painted expressions. My niece is trying to fill out three different collections at this time. For one collection she is missing the first doll released in the series. The doll was released twenty years ago. For the older dolls she is always searching on line for the porcelain dolls for sale hoping to find one that has been part of an estate. The one she is looking for is part of the collection that I started her with twenty years ago. Her husband cannot believe the amount of pride she places into this collection. She spends a great deal of money to continue it. My sister tells him to talk to me because I started it with the southern belle doll.

Seeing is believing, but sometimes we can not all experience every subject in life. This article about Porcelain Dolls For Sale hopes to make up for that by providing you with a valuable resource of information.
