Abstract: A unique doll eye is disclosed which has the realistic appearance of a human eye. The doll eye comprises a substantially spherical body constructed of porcelain and with a hole formed diametrically through it. An eye insert having an elongated stem and a flared out portion at one end of the stem is glued within the hole so that the outer periphery of the eye insert flared out portion conforms substantially with the outer periphery of the spherical body. In addition, the eye insert is constructed of a transparent material and the opposite or inward side of the flared out portion is painted with a suitable color so that the eye insert gives the appearance of the iris of the human eye. The body together with the eye insert is then coated with polyurethane or similar transparent material and the resulting doll eye has a realistic appearance of a human eye.
