I found this 6.5"sweetie at an antique shop. She has jointed arms. She's dressed in a crepe paper dress adorned with old metal tinsel and crepe paper underclothes. I didn't undress her to look for a mark, but it's probably "Made in Japan." I'd date her in the 20's or 30's, and her paint makes her appear to be brand new, which is unusual for these play dolls. The paint was applied after firing, not fired in, therefore, it will wash off or rub off if you're not careful.
