I recently found a great lot of dolls at an estate sale, which are all up at auction this week. They are small - just a couple of inches tall - which makes the hand painted detail on them that much more amazing!
Vintage Wood Nesting Kokeshi Doll Set - I think these are my favorite!
Vintage Wood Kokeshi Nodder Dolls - Man and Woman Couple
Three Bobble Head Wooden Kokeshi Dolls
Two Hand Painted Wood Nodder Kokeshi DollsI had a poke around on eBay to see what other kinds of dolls are up for sale right now - there are a lot! Here's a few of my favorites:
Japanese Kokeshi Doll by Hide - I just love her hair!
Tiny Kokeshi Dolls on a Mahjong Tile - This is amazing! And the auction is starting at just one penny... It doesn't get any better than that!
Sweet Girl Kokeshi - She is so sweet with her floral design and closed eyes!These little dolls are pretty addicting, each one is different and they are the perfect collectible - they are small, reasonably priced, and look great as a crowd! ;)
