The Piece
This limited edition porcelain doll, titled Ms. Purry Peaches, is part of the Bonnet Belle Cats series designed by Betty Jane Carter and produced by Goebel in 1994. The figure features a softly modeled porcelain cat face with painted green eyes and hand-detailed whisker markings, dressed in a floral cotton bonnet and dress trimmed with lace, ribbon, and applied embellishments.
The costume reflects a nostalgic, storybook aesthetic characteristic of late 20th-century collectible design, with careful attention to fabric pattern, layered trims, and coordinated accessories. The piece retains its original hang tag and printed documentation, identifying it as a numbered example from a limited series of six.
Produced in Taiwan for the U.S. market, this doll was created for decorative display rather than play, embodying a specific era of collectible culture that emphasized sentiment, character, and presentation.
Offered as a Curated Reduction—an authentic, intact collectible selected for charm, condition, and period appeal rather than rarity or investment-grade status.

Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
