Soviet Union Vovonej Doll

Five of my 1940’s ethnic dolls are displayed here. In the back we have a 7 in. Dutch compo doll, an 8 in. stockinette doll marked “Soviet Union Vovonej girl,” and a  8.5 in. Mexican all cloth girl doll. In the front we have 5 in. and 4.5 in. dolls from China. Their bodies are constructed from padded wire. The heads, hands, and feet are made of clay. The feet have unique embedded wires that protrude in the back to help them stand.
