Unlike most dolls of this kind, there is very little soil or wear. 40-50 years old. It is an interesting fact that these clay dolls were made in the same small Kyushu Ireland, very southern tip of Japan where Imari, Satsuma, Nabeshima, and Hirado were all from. The dolls that I have listed here are quite different from current Hakata dolls that are fluffy pretty dolls with white paste. These older exports are unglazed, NON-Washable and quite interestingThe measurements of this unglazed Hakata Doll are 6 h wide and 7 h tall.
Condition is excellent except there are some paint chips on sake gourd.
30 - 50 years old. It's a very soft silk inside and out, the kind that clings to your body. These long sleeves indicate a maiden's wear before the marriage. It is from the early to mid 1900's. I doubt that it has ever been worn with the basting stitches all over the seams.
