Porcelain Dolls from Petticoat Lane![]() Billy (boy) |
GERBRUDER HEUBACH produced many different sorts of dolls. Some may not even be considered dolls, but more as ornaments, such as the "piano babies". Many of his dolls had molded painted hair and intaglio, a type of painted, eyes. Here is BILLY, an example of a more traditional doll done as a boy and as a girl. | Billy (girl) |
Sarah is unmarked, but she is typical of many of the dolls made by Heubach. She has molded hair, intaglio eyes, molded shoes and socks, and an all porcelain body. She is all-bisque and about 8" tall.
