Antique German Bisque Head Doll with Pierced Ears
$150.00
Antique German Bisque Head Doll with Pierced Ears is a beautiful late 19th to early 20th-century collectible crafted by Ernst Heubach, renowned for producing high-quality German dolls. Featuring a finely detailed bisque head, expressive brown set eyes, an original wig, and a fully jointed composition body, this charming 16-inch doll is an exceptional example of German doll-making craftsmanship and a wonderful addition to any antique collection.

Condition
The doll remains in very good antique condition. The bisque head shows no cracks or repairs, with only a couple of tiny chips around the neck opening. The original wig is securely attached and displays attractive curled braids at the temples. The antique clothing presents beautifully with expected age-related wear, light soiling, and a few small holes and tears. The fully jointed body is solid, showing typical wear including an old repair to the right hand/thumb and old glue residue at the knees. The original wooden clog shoes and period clothing remain included.
Why This Piece Stands Out
This authentic Ernst Heubach doll combines a beautifully sculpted bisque head, pierced ears, original costume, and fully jointed body with charming period accessories. Its expressive features, original presentation, and excellent preservation make it a highly desirable collectible for antique doll enthusiasts and German bisque doll collectors.
