Description
German character dolls differed from traditional “dolly” face dolls in that their faces were meant to be more evocative of real children. The eyes of a German character doll may be glass like those of “dolly” face German bisque dolls, or they may be painted.
Character dolls are some of the rarer and more valuable of German bisque dolls. These dolls date from the late 19th and early 20th century, and their rarity is largely due to the fact that, at the time they were produced, they were generally less popular than the more traditional “dolly” face German bisque dolls.
