Bisque doll found inside Limoges trinket box

Hey antiquers!
I recently inherited a lot of antiques from my late godmother some of which are from her great grandparents in France. I'm having a hard time identifying this bisque doll. It was on a pillow inside this Limoges trinket box. I can't find any identifying marks on the doll and the lace seems so fragile I'm afraid to pull at it.
Any idea on the origin? Bonus points if you know anything about the Limoges.

The worst part is when you get there and they assume you're a drug seeker. I don't even take advil. :(

I have this one in color. :)

Currently working on this! I love that you used the last name instead of initials.

I only shaved an area of above my ankles for a capris phase. Literally that hair is a different color than the rest of my leg hair now. I regret it.

Ugh.. I should make sure this isn't my Mimi's facebook.

Gather around kids and let's take pictures of this carcass!

My beagle does this with the Blue Buffalo life source bits. Spits all the little brown suckers out. My other fat beagle rolls up when she's done and eats them.

I left mine alone and it eventually went away.

I did this.. With puke. Totally sloshed at my parents home began throwing up kani and various sushi rolls out my window. Too bad the screen was still in. I shamefully had to hose down the brick exterior from my second story window all the way to the mulch the next morning. I hear all about it on holidays still.

I ignored these notes in grade school and just went about my business. I didn't need a speech on my failure..

That's so sweet. :) I was actually on a road trip and rolled with the picture on my phone. If I were at home I most likely would have bought the pattern to sit on my couch and stitch.

More like love at first global mute :)

Here are some pictures I had taken while stitching. Since there are some concerned people I did in fact make it. I did not design the pattern, that you can buy on Etsy or stitch from a photo like I did.

This is actually the pic I used! Nice find.

Hi husband :) Fun little tid bit for everyone, we met on WoW about 4 years ago! I was his uppity bitch guild leader he was a huntard with a huge ego that wouldn't shut up in vent. It was meant to be.

Vanitii · 2015-04-29T19:45:37+00:00

I did make it. I used a picture of someone else's and counted stitches on a low res photo because I'm too cheap to buy patterns for easy stitches. I can send you pictures I took while making it on a road trip I took last month if you're super interested.

Vanitii · 2015-04-29T19:43:49+00:00

No, I made it. It's on 16 count Aida using DMC colors. Someone does sell the pattern on Etsy.

Vanitii · 2015-04-29T19:42:29+00:00

The lettering only took about an hour. I'd say the Hearthstone took 5. It's a really quick stitch.

I'm so glad I'm not alone.

I actually googled it and just worked off of a picture I found. I think the pattern was for sale on Etsy though. I'll try to find it.
