About Antique German Dolls

German dolls became popular starting with handcrafted bisque versions about 1840, and gaining momentum around 1890 with the ‘dolly-face’ porcelain-faced dolls of the Thuringia region. Before World War I, German makers like Kammer & Reinhardt and Heubach & Kestner made highly realistic looking dolls. Some German antique dolls made before 1930 have maker’s marks, but the majority don’t.
