Bahr & Pröschild - Doll - 1910-1920 - Germany

Character dolls with biscuit porcelain heads and composition bodies in sailor suits and lace dress The set consists of three charming antique mini dolls. Two of them wear color-coordinated, dark blue sailor suits in the maritime style of the turn of the century (one with a matching cap). The smaller doll in the middle wears a historical white dress with delicate lace trim. All three dolls have finely crafted faces with molded and painted hair as well as hand-painted facial features. Manufacturer Large dolls (sailors): Bahr & Pröschild (nape stamp with the brand “Krone über Kreis mit Kreuz” and model number 11203 or “B 9/0”, see photos). Small doll (white dress): Based on the construction and the neck stamp “910” (see photos), also of German manufacture (Gebrüder Heubach or a comparable Thuringian character doll maker). Origin Germany (Thuringia) – recognizable by the impressed origin designation “Germany” on the neck (image.png). Year / Exact period Approximately 1910 – 1920 (late German Empire / early Weimar Republic). Style Antique toys / character dolls of Historicism or early modernism (maritime fashion for children). Technique & Material Doll in white dress: The head is made of fine biscuit porcelain, all body parts (torso and limbs) are entirely composed of composition. Dolls in blue outfits: The heads are made of biscuit porcelain, all body parts are also composition (painted, see close-up photos). Details & Clothing: All heads are hand-painted (eyes, eyebrows, lips and hair). Original or period textiles (wool/cotton for the suits, lace and fine linen/cotton for the dress). Measurements Doll in white dress: height approx. 18 cm Dolls in blue outfits: height approx. 22 cm Condition Overall condition for the age is described as good to fair: Heads: The biscuit porcelain shows no obvious cracks or chips in the visible area. The original paintwork is well preserved. Bodies & limbs: The bodies made of composition show age-related wear, light stains, minimal paint loss and the typical loosening of the internal elastic over the decades (see close-up photos). Arm joints have been partially fixed historically or sit loosely in the sleeves. Clothing: Authentically aged with a beautiful patina and light dust, without major damage.
