GEORGINA RITSON DOLLS

Dolls' House World Magazine

Thank you for visiting - I hope you enjoy reading about my work and browsing my collections.

I first began producing dolls for miniaturists in 2006 making every aspect of the doll myself from the initial casting to the final touches of a fully costumed piece. Over time my hobby turned into a business and a waiting list for my commissioned pieces began to grow. Consequently it became necessary to call on other craftspeople to help create my dolls. All of my dolls are hand made from porcelain and are now produced in the Staffordshire potteries, home of England’s finest ceramic ware. I continue hand paint each doll’s face, remaining loyal to traditional china painting techniques which ensures that no two dolls are the same.

I create dolls for all time periods from Edwardian ladies dressed in vintage silks and exquisite lace to contemporary “people” dressed in celebrated Liberty of London fabric. I specialise in commissions and dolls made to order, however I bring out a limited collection of new dolls each month and display these in the “Available Dolls” section. In this section you are buying a “first edition” or a “one off” doll and avoid a waiting list for dolls made to order.

Any of the dolls seen on the website are available as kits and ready to dress dolls. For more information please visit the Kits section.

New for 2012 it is a pleasure to be able to offer my original doll moulds to other artists.

Georgina is looking for more skilled hands to help create her dolls. If you have a talent for doll making Georgina would love to hear from you!
