Half doll salmon pink

A half doll is an antique collectible and decorative item that was popular in the 1920s and 1930s. Made of pottery, it depicts a female figure about 4 inches high with a lower portion that slopes down to a flat base. The name "half doll" comes from the fact that the top part of the doll (from the waist up) is free and was often used to make a pincushion. They were also often associated with fashion and were often shown as elegant ladies in stylish clothes. Today half dolls are still collected by lovers of antiques and vintage items.
