What is a Doll?

How long have we had this love affair with Dolls?

Pearls of Wisdom:

New World Dictionary describes a doll as - "a child's toy, puppet, marionette, etc. made to resemble a human being."

Looking for Information on these dolls...



As a special favor to ask of my followers, especially those that are miniature collectors. I recently purchased these teeny 1 1/2" dolls they are all bisque, fully jointed and they are all dressed in crocheted wedding costumes. If anybody can give me some background on them . I would really appreciate it!



Bisous

    Dear Marta, this morning I was hanging around on ebay and I found this:

    http://cgi.ebay.it/Antique-German-Wire-jointed-Tiny-Bisque-Porcelain-Doll-/160651991655?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25679ada67

    I do not know whether it would be interesting for you, but the doll seems to me similar to yours.
    A warm hug, Flora

    Thank you all for your replies. Flora I checked out the doll on ebay, and it is a Hertwig. I found out that mine are from Carl Horn Nachf, a contemporary of Hertwig, from the same area. It would be great to find some background on them,I think they are just wonderful! I will do some research on Hertwig, and hopefully find some history on mine. Maybe a post...lol! Thank you all for your help!
