THE PAUL REVERE POTTERY Doll Heads by Linda Edward
LORD AND LADY WALTHAM English Woodens - An 18th Century Love Story
Lord and Lady Waltham, crafted by Kathy Patterson, are made in the style of the later-period Georgian dolls, with inset glass eyes and clothing of the period. Antique dolls were not signed by their makers. Because Kathy’s dolls are such faithful replicas of the originals, they are signed and dated, to distinguish them as replicas.
