Early German Porcelain (China) Shoulder Head Doll with Molded Snood and Ribbon Hair Adornment

$1,850 USDEarly German Porcelain (China) Shoulder Head Doll with Molded Snood and Ribbon Hair Adornment

Dolls:Antique:China, German:Porcelain:Germany
This 11 inch tall German porcelain head doll, circa the 1860s, is simply breathtaking. She is an early thick paste pressed head doll with cloth body and wooden lower arms and legs. She wears a lovely silk dress that, I believe, is probably original to her. The silk of the dress is starting to melt and is far too frail to remove from the doll. She also wears an antique cotton petticoat and pantaloons. The modeling, painting, and hair style of this doll are rare and fantastic. She has a molded ...

This 4 ¼ inch tall china head, circa the 1860s, is a lovely example by the German Kestner Doll firm. She has a hairstyle with a headband adorned with gold metallic paint. She also has very fine painted brushstrokes around the doll’s hairline. The sculpting of the hair has well delineated curls and brushstrokes. The painting of the hair is so fine and well shaded that it almost appears that there are color variations allowing the hair color to appear dark brunette in some areas. Her face is also ...

Dolls:Antique:China, German:Porcelain:Germany
This 4 ¾ inch tall china head was created, circa the 1880s, by the German firm of Hertwig & Co. This mold is photographed in Mary Krombholz’s book, “Identifying German Chinas,” on page 108. According to Krombholz, “The Low Brow hairstyles differ from the common Low Brow hairdos because they each include a white center part unlike the majority of Low Brows. The shoulder plates are rounded rather than squared at the ends.” The back of the shoulder plate is incised with the number 5. The head has ...

The head is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. There is some slight wear to the paint on the back of the head. Most of the spots that appear in my photos are light reflections. Along with her wonderful hairstyle ...

I believe this doll retains her original cloth body with leather lower arms and cloth feet with stitched toes. She wears old cotton pantaloons and a crochet trimmed petticoat. Her dress, that also may be original, is a wonderful early red cotton print. The dress has a few small holes but nothing that detracts from its historical beauty. The doll head has no chips, ...

SALE PENDING Early German Kestner Bisque Head Character Doll with Original Composition Body

$1,095 USD Sale PendingSALE PENDING Early German Kestner Bisque Head Character Doll with Original Composition Body

Dolls:Antique:China, German:Porcelain:Germany:Kestner
This 16 inch tall doll is incised only “Made in Germany 10.” She is obviously the early 143 Kestner mold; however, early examples were not incised with the mold number. These dolls, circa 1897, signaled the beginning of the character doll era for German bisque head dolls. She is so lovely and photogenic. I had trouble deciding what photos to use for Ruby Lane. Her head has no chips, cracks, or repairs. She does have a couple of small wig pulls under her wig at the crown but nothing distracting. ...
