SHE TOLD ME THE DOLL WAS NEVER DISPLAYED EXCEPT AT DOLL SHOWS, AND I NEVER DISPLAYED HER. SHE WILL COME IN THE ORIGINAL MFR BOX IN WHICH I RECEIVED HER. DOLL HAS THE ARTIST NAME ENGRAVED ON THE BASE OF THE NECK (see photo), A HAND-SIGNED/NUMBERED SERIES HANG TAG, AND HAS THE ARTIST'S SIGNATURE ON HER TUSH (see photos). THE DOLL DID NOT COME WITH A STAND, AND I DON'T HAVE ONE TO INCLUDE THAT WILL WORK WITH THIS DOLL. ALTHOUGH I CANNOT VERIFY WHAT THE COLLECTOR SAID ABOUT HER ONLY BEING DISPLAYED AT DOLL SHOWS, I DID EXAMINE HER THOROUGHLY WHEN PURCHASED AND AGAIN BEFORE LISTING HER. SHE IS IN ABSOLUTELY PERFECT CONDITION WITH NO ISSUES TO REPORT OR EVEN SIGNS OF PREVIOUS USE. PLEASE EXAMINE ALL PHOTOS AS THEY ARE PART OF THE LISTING. SIZE OF MFR BOX: 10.25 x 6 x 4.25NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING: WHILE I PREFER TO SHIP HER ENCLOSED WITHIN ANOTHER BOX, THE DOLL'S MFR BOX IS QUITE STURDY, AND THE DOLL IS VERY WELL PROTECTED. DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION, SHE MAY SHIP OUT IN THE MFR BOX, BUT IF THAT IS DONE, BE ASSURED THAT THE MFR BOX WILL FIRST BE SURROUNDED WITH A PLASTIC BAG AND THEN WRAPPED WITH HEAVY-DUTY BROWN PAPER. DUE TO HER VALUE, THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL $6 HANDLING FEE TO COVER THE COST OF ADDED INSURANCE.Online Info About Artist: Heidi Plusczok has sculpted dolls since 1980. She makes her dolls as if by some magical power a soul has been given to the doll. Her first doll was made from polymer clay for her 10-year old daughter and just 1 year later she started making porcelain dolls. To obtain the knowledge and skills needed and find her own style, she busied herself by making doll portraits. Her love for children gave her the opportunity to fully understand them and not only look at their appearance. The school opposite her house gave her the chance to discover all their differences and apply them to her creations. Ten years after, she visited the “Toy Fair” in America which was a real challenge because she barely spoke a word of English. Years after, she meets Madame Zapf from the renowned Zapf factory which resulted in a long collaboration for her vinyl dolls. It was easy to give the design a form, but Heidi didn’t always see what she had wanted in the doll and thus wanted to do the painting herself. Since 2002 she is making porcelain dolls again. Because she now makes the dolls herself, she can make them however she wants and is a great success. Every year she travels to Indonesia to choose all the clothes and designs for new materials. Her daughter takes care of the clothing and is a member of a team of five. Everyone has their own task, but the finishing touches, such as the color in the cheeks and the painting of the lips and eyebrows, are done only by Heidi herself.
