Vintage Geisha Doll Japan Some Nishi Collection Lot Of 9 All Costumed Asst'd Siz

Description

Vintage Collection of nine (9) Japanese Geisha Girl Dolls.  All adorned in silks and brocade costumes , each one different from each other.  Three of the dolls have the Nishi & Co. LTD label remaining on the bottom.   I feel that others are also Nishi however missing labels.  Small ones I'm not sure of.  Made in Japan marked on one box, the other nothing.   All have a wood stand/base with the exception of the two smallest.  These two are encased in a lucite type box which I could not open on each of the two. We have one in aqua blue, one in brown, one in orange/gold.  There is another in ivory/tan/coral.  There are two in red/gold.  One other is a green olive/orange/ivory costume.  The dolls have fabric hands, feet, legs and arms hand sewn.
The two small encased dolls are all together different materials regarding face and hands.   The faces on one of the two small dolls look porcelain.  She is a young girl beautifully painted face and costume.    All have hand painted faces.
Hair condition is good on all dolls.  They made need a little attention, some are wearing hair ornaments and combs.  The Geisha Girl in orange with navy sash is painted on different surface - which seems to be porcelain.  Her face is beautifully painted and different from the others. The base of this particular doll is wood tone and not black all over as they others.  She is more of a bright white and and eyes etc. are more beautiful and well executed.   Whether this is a Nishi or not I do not know.
Pre-owned estate sale find.  Shipped to the buyer as they are in their good vintage condition securely and carefully.
Measurements are the tallest being 18".  There are two 17", two 16", 15", 12" .  Measurements include the base measurement. The two boxed girls are about 4" from head to foot not including the lucite case.
Feel free to ask questions, let me know if you want more pictures - I had to scale down to 12 only.  Thank you for looking at my treasures.  See other vintage items listed sometime.
