Swansea has had a market
for nigh on a thousand years and today it has grown to be one of the largest
indoor markets in Wales. Welsh Doll Carys represents a girl from the late
C18th to early C19th. She is dressed in an open fronted ‘betgwn’ (bedgown)
with self-stripe neck-fill, underskirt, black lace mittens and apron. Her
hat is the typical high crowned Welsh felt style and she has a frilled underbonnet
of muslin. Carys carries a large basket of beautiful flowers to sell at
the market.
As with all our Welsh Dolls Carys stands 14” high (including hat) Carys
has an original porcelain head, hands and half-legs. Her features are carefully
china painted and she has life-like set in eyes and a soft brown mohair
wig.
