Heidi Plusczok * THELMA Porcelain Orig.Ret. $2250 LE 20 WORLDWIDE M/C

Description: This auction is for THELMA, a porcelain artist doll by reknowned artist Heidi Plusczok. She is one of an extremely limited edition of 20 Thelma's worldwide, which explains why her original retail price in 1997 was $2250 (Doll Market catalog 1997, pg. 38). Thelma is a standing doll in a red and white plaid dress, with a brown leather backpack to wear to school. She has a human hair big with a white bow, smiling blue glass eyes, an open mouth with sculpted gums and teeth. Her sculpting is amazing. She has a clavicle, shoulder blades, graceful arms and detailed hands. Solidly made and stuffed extra tight, she will hopefully survive several lifetimes. That said, after 27 years, she is not minty brand new, but she doesn't have any cracks, breaks or flaws that I am aware of. Plusczok no longer makes porcelain dolls, only vinyl, so she'll just get more rare. She has never been redressed, restyled or played with and comes from my smoke-free home. The doll you see in the photographs is the exact doll that you will receive so please ask questions if you have them as all sales are final. That said, check my feedback and bid with confidence. The $5 handling fee I charge will be applied to full insurance for Thelma (being porcelain, I think we can both agree it's prudent.) If insurance costs more than that, which it usually does, I'll cover the difference. The shipping box will weigh about 7 pounds and measure 24x10x6 which is about as good as I can pack her safely. Thank you for viewing my auction.
