Antique German Bisque Dolls Lot of 5, Early 20th Century Thuringian Porcelain Dolls, Collectable All & Half Bisque Figures

Step into a bygone era with this absolutely gorgeous lot of five antique German dolls, a true treasure for any collector! This unique collection features two larger all-bisque dolls and three charming half-bisque dolls with cloth bodies, all originating from the renowned doll-making region of Thuringia, Germany. With their beautifully painted features and jointed limbs, they are a fab peek into the craftsmanship of the early 20th century, a time when German doll manufacturing was at its peak. Each doll tells its own story, ready to bring a touch of vintage whimsy to your home.

Features:

• A set of five genuine early 20th-century German dolls.
• Two larger all-bisque jointed dolls with fully porcelain bodies.
• Three smaller half-bisque jointed dolls with porcelain heads and limbs, and original cloth bodies.
• Authentic Thuringian origin, with the “TH” marking visible on one of the larger dolls.
• Beautifully hand-painted facial features and hair.
• Jointed limbs for posing.

Measurements (Approximate): The two larger all-bisque dolls stand at approximately 15 cm (5.9″) tall. The three half-bisque dolls range from 13 cm to 14.5 cm (5.1″ to 5.7″) in height.

Condition: Good to Fair vintage condition. All dolls show signs of age-related wear, which only adds to their authentic charm. There is some soiling and discolouration on the cloth bodies of the half-bisque dolls consistent with age. The porcelain parts are free of any apparent cracks or chips. The stringing on some joints is a little loose, but all are intact. The half-bisque doll with the bobbed haircut shows some loss of painted finish on the hair, but this doesn’t detract from its lovely antique appeal.

Styling Ideas:

• Display them together in a vintage curio cabinet to create a fascinating focal point.
• Use them as whimsical, storytelling props in a creative flat lay for photography.
• Gift them to a passionate doll collector or someone who appreciates unique, historical items.
