Vintage 1950s Peasant Folk Doll – Mid-Century Plastic Tourist Souvenir 10″

Description

Step into mid-century nostalgia with this authentic 1950s hard-plastic peasant girl doll, a classic example of post-war “tourist” folk souvenir art. Styled after traditional Eastern European village wear, this unmarked export piece features a molded hard-plastic head and articulated limbs set against a layered cloth dress. Perfect for vintage decor shelves, shabby chic displays, or collectors of mid-century folk art and cultural dolls.
The doll stands approximately 10 inches tall and showcases a vibrant red floral chintz skirt, cream apron/bodice with botanical motifs, off-white blouse, tied headscarf, and delicate lace trim. Please note this piece is in fair to good vintage condition: the hard plastic is structurally sound with a beautiful aged patina, while the costuming shows age-appropriate soiling, from decades of storage, and a small tear consistent with its 1950s origin. All original layers remain intact with no missing pieces or modern repairs.
Ideal for vintage home decor, cottagecore styling, or as a unique conversation piece, this doll ships carefully packed to preserve its character and charm. Whether you’re expanding your collection of mid-century export dolls or adding rustic ethnic folk art to your space, this 1950s tourist souvenir brings timeless craftsmanship and historical charm to any room.
