Description

This listing features Michael, a delightful vintage porcelain baby doll created by celebrated doll artist Yolanda Bello for Ashton-Drake Galleries.

Issued in 1990 as part of the retired Yolanda’s Picture-Perfect Babies collection, Michael is a charming little ballplayer dressed in a traditional white pinstriped baseball uniform with red accents. Period promotional material describes him reaching for a hand-stitched baseball, wearing an initialed cap, and displaying the number “1” on the back of his uniform. The Picture-Perfect Babies collection by Yolanda Bello is documented as discontinued and was produced from 1985 through 1991.

Michael has a realistic, expressive baby face and the thoughtful artistry that makes Yolanda Bello dolls so beloved by collectors. He sits approximately 12 inches tall and is a wonderful addition to an Ashton-Drake, Yolanda Bello, porcelain doll, or baseball-themed collection.

This doll has been carefully cleaned and now presents beautifully in excellent condition. It comes from a smoke-free home and includes its Certificate of Authenticity and original box.

Please review all photos closely for the best representation of the doll’s condition and included items. This is a vintage porcelain collectible intended for adult collectors and display; it is not suitable as a toy for young children.
