The Sasha dolls that are widely collected are mass produced dolls based on the designs of Sasha Morgenthaler. Sasha herself worked closely with the companies in England (Trendon) and Germany (Goetz) that produced the dolls. The holy grail for a Sasha collector though is one of the dolls produced by Sasha herself in her studio. There were actually many of these produced, some for resale and some by commission as portrait dolls to represent a real young girl. Many of these used hair from the subject to wig the doll. Several of the collectors in the Rochester area have studio dolls in their collection. Tonight they joined in a show and tell presentation showing us their dolls and sharing the history. Here are a few of the dolls.
