1.
What did you order?
Bought "Gift for You" through a charity auction on ebay (donated by artist) - although the artist does have her own website- I don't think she offers her dolls through the site- but she is very easy to contact and very friendly. www.puparium.com/#&panel1-1
Link to the website or thread you used to make the purchase, if any:
When did you order (date you paid):
May 2nd
2.
About the Quality of Service (rate 1-3, explain any 1s or 2s)
: 3 from the artist (she agreed to replace a hand that was broken upon receipt),
However, I bought the doll from the Italian Doll Convention (IDC) - and they were really terrible. The hand was broken upon receipt, and despite numerous emails and photos, they have yet to respond to me. THey are raising money for a good cause which is awesome, but if you bid on one of their items, they will offer no assistance if there is any trouble, which is pretty sad. More details here: heartsofclay.freeforums.net/thread/832/gift-clara-fornari
Clear photos?
Yes
Easy to pay?
Good communication? With the artist- yes, with IDC NO.
Prompt shipping? na
Production time, if relevant: na
Quality of packaging:
The doll did not have her own box- but there was cut out foam for the doll to rest in. She probably would have fared better traveling overseas if the hands had been wrapped in bubbles or something. Pictures here: heartsofclay.freeforums.net/thread/832/gift-clara-fornari

About the Quality of the Product (rate 1-3, explain any 1s or 2s) 3
Did the quality match the price?
Yes
Item as pictured and described?
Yes except broken fingers damaged in shipping
Quality of porcelain (too thin? Rough spots?):
Porcelain is beautiful
Quality of tension (does the doll hold poses? Too loose and floppy?): Very well
Quality of paintwork:
Gorgeous
Quality of sculpting:
Top notch
Quality of accessories (box, stand, wig, clothing, etc):
Gorgeous stand. Really unusual costume that is composed more of sculpted/found objects than sewn. A lot of gluing not sewing. Very creative and it looks beautiful.

Other comments?
Would you order from this company again? From the artist- yes. I will never buy anything from IDC again.
