ARIANA was designed and manufactured by The Robert Tonner Doll Company of New York. She was made exclusively for the UFDC (United Federation of Doll Clubs) Convention in Washington, D.C. in 1999 and celebrated the 50th anniversary. The title of the convention was "Opulence and Elegance" and the doll was created to represent this theme. The doll was was inspired by a 1760's painting "Juene Fille aux Chats," and a sculpted cat was also presented to convention goers at the last evening convention banquet, where this doll was given as the souveneir doll to all full registrants. The doll was produced in a limited editon of 1575, of which she is #975.

She is 14 1/2" tall and made entirely of porcelain. She has brown inset glass eyes, beautiful facial coloring, and applied blonde wig styled in an upsweep. Her costume is fabulous and complete.

She comes in her original box with cat (hard to find), certificate of authenticity signed by Robert Tonner, and her hangtag. She is in mint condition and would make a nice addition to any collection.
