Sophie
by Helen Kish and Robert Tonner

Donated by Helen Facto

Sophie is a rare 7 1/2" all porcelain doll, totally poseable and the first doll made by Tonner and Kish together for the 1998 NIADA convention in Seattle.

She is made of quality porcelain and has a beautiful classic Helen Kish face. She has lovely dark brown hair. Her face is painted in the beloved Helen Kish style. Sophie wears an adorable outfit consisting of a hat, long sleeved turtleneck shirt, jumper and tights all made of cotton knit in shades of plum and violet. She has matching suede shoes and handbag. Jointed arms and legs and a swivel head and stands on her own! She has her paper hang tag and original box.

There were a limited number of these dolls made, although I honestly don't know how many, probably under 200. Sophie was created by Helen Kish and Robert Tonner so she represents the work of two very popular NIADA artists. She was a forerunner to Helen Kish's popular Riley and all of Riley's clothes will fit on Sophie.

Sophie will make a very special addition to the collection of any lover of the beautiful work of Helen Kish and Robert Tonner.
