Madeleine & Harry "..........It is one of those perfectly wonderful summer days.....with the sky a clear blue and the sun shining steadily. Just a breath of wind is stirring and the air carries a scent of grass and summer flowers. Madeleine is teasing her much loved dog. And laughing. She cant help it- he looks so funny when she tickles his ear. But harry doesn't mind as long as he can have his share of that delicious ice-cream cone she's holding.... Madeleine is a sweet little girl, with a delicate face, the picture of childish innocence. Her adorable dress with the blue and white frills and red bow set off her blues eyes to perfection. The little socks with their lace edging and red patent leather shoes are the finishing touch. The cheeky little bunch with a red ribbon in her soft, blond hair is her own idea. And as you would expect, her face, her hands and her feet are modelled in high-quality, twice-fired Bisque porcelain. This is the scene for you to enjoy and it will form a delightful focus in your home. source: porcelain doll advertisement from Sunday magazine, Aug 1996
