Antique German Porcelain Half Doll

Description

Antique German Porcelain Half Doll. Condition is "Used".
This absolutely stunning hand painted half doll is a perfect example of early German craftsmanship. Her fine facial details are hand painted and her gorgeous golden locks have been placed in a time period correct up do. I believe her hair is either mohair or human hair. Given her size at approx. 3" she is of an early German time period most likely late 19th century or earlier.
These half dolls were often placed atop pin cushions, broom handles, mirror handles and the like.  The dolls posed with arms and hands away from their bodies usually suffered the most damage as these are the most fragile.  As you can see she has NO cracks, chips or crazing. The word GERMANY is embossed on the back rim of her body, it is difficult to see in pictures but it is there.
This half doll is truly a spectacular example of fine art in miniature.
