Hi your little German Bisque dolls are doll house dolls . They date from around 1910-1930 .They should have a mark on the back of head saying germany . Japan also did these it is hard to be sure they are German or Japan without mark . Can you look at the back of their necks ? Very cute collection !
i cant find any markings
check the middle of their backs . Importing laws required dolls to be marked from country of orgin . I have seen these before and they are doll house dolls they have painted eyes ,glass would have made them much more valuable . But they are very collectible to people who have those Vintage dollhouses .
Here is a male close to yours
