This was the first Bleuette from 1905, known as "Premier Bleuette" or the Bleuette Jumeau. The publisher of the magazine, La Semaine de Suzette (Suzette's Week), gave these dolls as a bonus to girls for placing an order for a one-year subscription to La Semaine de Suzette before its first publication (February 1905) and only available until one month after publication (March 1905).commissioned the SFBJ firm to make Bleuette dolls in 1905. They made 20,000 dolls. When these were sold out, the publisher commissioned SFBJ to in 1916 to make other models, one being the SFBJ301, or what we call Bleuette Silver. Doll is incised with a 1 over a 2 and is painted very much like a Jumeau. Pierced ears, paperweight eyes and open mouth with four teeth.
There is a long and interesting history about the Bleuettes as well as many different costumes and patterns that fit on the dolls.

Suzette was my very first Bleuette and, therefore, is very special to me. She is a Premiere reproduction by Damaris Alves using the Seeley Premier Mold.
She was poured in pure white Seeleys porcelain slip and then given two thin French washes to keep her complexion pale. She looks very antique!
Suzette is spoiled, a little selfish and prone to temperamental fits. She assumes that all the new outfits are for her and becomes pouty when she finds that they’re not. She is special and she knows it.
