This is smaller model of a Russian tea cosy or teapot cover doll. A plastic hang tag says 'Made in Russia'. The original paper label is also still there, she is holding it under her arm. It reads 'Grelka Devushka V Sarafane' with means something like 'Warming Lady in Sarafan'. A sarafan is a long A-line jumper style dress worn over a rubakha or blouse/shirt. That is exactly how this folk doll is dressed. Her sarafan is decorated with gold ribbons. Her head and hands are made of plastic, her lower body is made of thick padded stuffed fabric. Unfortunately there is a stain on the front.
