China (Glazed Porcelain) German “Alice in Wonderland” Shoulder Head by Kestner & Co.

$649 USD Offers ConsideredChina (Glazed Porcelain) German “Alice in Wonderland” Shoulder Head by Kestner & Co.

Dolls:Antique:China, German:Porcelain:Germany:Kestner
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 ...

She has painted features with blue eyes and a cover wagon hair style with vertical curls around the back and sides of her head.

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. ...
