S&H 1279

Emily Hart, Grandmaster of Dollmaking, presents:

Adorable smiling German Doll HEAD ONLY originally by Simon & Halbig, Germany, circa 1915 Authentic Antique Reproduction

Since 1990 Emily has been dedicated to making the finest in Authentic porcelain Reproduction dolls. It took seven years of study and many courses to earn her the coveted Grandmaster of Dollmaking title from the Doll Artisan Guild of New York. Emily has earned her place as a World Class Doll maker with her many Best of Show Rosettes and Canada's Top Trophy in the Professional Category for her French Ethnic Bébé.

-Originally made in Germany by Simon & Halbig and marked 1279 this charming doll was originally made during the early 1900's

- This lovely doll HEAD has the following features:

-Extra Fine China painting done in 2022, applied in up to 6 layers with firings in between. This head is painted more in the colors of the French dolls a paler skin tone and lighter lips that the original would have had. I made this head for myself, but now I have to let go of many dolls I wanted to keep for myself.

- “Fredricka” has four porcelain teeth, with felt tongue. Her name came from the Byron mold.

-She features finest Antique Reproduction paperweight eyes by Hand Glass Craft of England in "Dark Blue" color... truly beautiful eyes with fabulous threading. Although these eyes are not the kind the Antique doll would have had, I chose to use them for their beauty in this case.

-As with all Authentic reproductions her head was poured in finest white porcelain

-This wig in fine Australian Mohair was custom made for Emily Hart dolls in a rich brown color with bangs and soft curls. (If you see a tiny hair on the face it is because I cut the bangs.)

This doll head fits YOUR OWN eighteen-inch fifteen-piece ball-jointed German Reproduction composition body to be about 23.5 inches tall.
