Taking care of your dolls is very important when they cost hundreds of dollars. The care of a doll is not technical and that is where teaching a child responsibility comes in. If you are a person just starting out to collect dolls, you will want to consider care of dolls as one of the major contributors to it's value in the future.
Anastasia by British artists Paul Crees and Peter Coe, theater is evident in most of their creations. They have been known for creating some of the worlds most beloved dolls. There
work has been collected by some of the world's most rich and famous people. They of course have won awards for their work including the prestigious Jumeau Award.
This doll was purchased in August of 1998 and has been out of the box to take pictures only. She has a copy of the invoice with her when purchased and she sold for over $200.00 with shipping. That makes a person think about how much she will be worth in 20 years when your childred are going to start college. As you can see this doll is almost 8 years old and is in like new condition. She is a treasure. If you look, these treasures are out there and are a great place to start collecting. Like I said the popularity of artist dolls is growing.
Just a couple of quick tips about care. Never use soap on your dolls unless you have contacted a professional doll care person. and unless necessary never wash clothing.
Have a good day Bob
