Description
Add rustic charm and folk art history to your collection with this original 1989 handmade Apple Head Doll, “Granny Wilamina.” A treasured piece from the late-20th century primitive country craft revival, this numbered studio doll (No. 43) features a classic dried apple head dressed in blue calico, complete with bonnet, apron, and a wicker basket of dried botanicals. Signed by artist Susan M. Mark for “Susan’s Apple Cottage,” she brings authentic character and nostalgic Americana style to any mantel, shelf, or cabin decor.
Granny stands approximately 9 inches tall in good vintage condition appropriate for her age. The dried apple head is stable with natural darkening that enhances its folk art appeal, and the cotton dress shows minor toning consistent with display wear. She includes an original cardstock hang tag inscribed “Created 1989” and a handwritten dedication “Mark & Val 12/25/89,” confirming her artisan provenance. A lovely, ready-to-display collectible for enthusiasts of handmade primitive decor and signed folk art dolls.
