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-Originally made in Germany by Simon & Halbig and marked 1279 this charming doll was made during the early 1900's

- This lovely doll has the following features:

-Extra Fine China painting done in December of 2013, applied in up to 6 layers with firings in between

-“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 pure "Grey" 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.

-Necklace of the most exquisite Genuine Swarovski Crystals in pink color.

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

-This wig made from the hair cut from the Angora goat and carefully dyed, wefted and hand-sewn into this wig entirely by Emily Hart

This costume is a ONE OF A KIND authentic reproduction of a German Antique ensemble, and made entirely by Emily Hart.

The socks are hand knitted silk/rayon and shoes are fancy German Reproduction shoes in finest genuine leather….

Both the bonnet and the dress have Emily’s own woven label sewn into the silk lining.
