A highly unique, authentic 1920s antique bisque porcelain character doll creatively presented as a weighted boudoir vanity powder puff / cushion display. Manufactured by Hertwig & Co. factory in Thuringia, Germany
Unique Flat-Back Factory Design: A fascinating diagnostic hallmark of this authentic German export piece is her factory-engineered "Flat-Back" head configuration. The reverse side of her head and molded hairbow is cast flat. This specialized antique tooling allowed the doll to sit perfectly flush against vanity backing materials or mirrors without creating bulky porcelain protrusions.
Full Bisque Torso: This is not a standard flat-bottomed half-doll; a full-bodied porcelain torso extends into the weighted core fabric skirt.
Articulated shoulder joints.The original 1920s internal stringing has been replaced with pliable round elastic cordage, ensuring her posable arms remain completely secure and ready for display.
"Made in Germany" on the back.
5 inches tall.
Excellent antique condition. Some color loss. Bodice is frayed. Arms are connected with elastic. Tiny edge chip on inside of the back of the arm at the joint. Please see photos for condition.
Guaranteed old and original.
