Description

Here is one of the loveliest, large 5 3/4" tall, German antique, curly blond china shoulderhead (only) dolls
incised: Germany 6
on the lower back edge, circa 1880s, by
Hertwig & Co., Germany.
She has a deep center-part with beautifully molded and painted, soft blond curly hair with lots of comb marks, exposed ears, pretty blue eyes, double-eyelid lines, nostril dots and brown eyebrows and well as a sweetly molded mouth, nicely blushed cheeks and four sew holes to attach her to a cloth body. Shown in detail on page 284, "A Pictorial Reference Guide for German Chinas"-Krombholz, this type of china doll was referred to in the trade at the time as, the
"Nanking" doll.
She has no wear or damages, no chips or hairlines and no repairs. Other dolls shown are
