Description: This listing is for an antique German bisque doll recently purchased from a local doll auction. She was made by Heinrich Handwerck around the turn of the century (circa 1900). She has a socket style bisque head with blue paperweight glass eyes. Her upper and lower eyelashes are painted and she has matte brown multi-stroke eyebrows. Her lips are light pink with a red outline and she has four upper teeth. There are red accent dots in her nostrils and in the corner of the eyes and she has rosy pink cheeks. Her ears are pierced and she comes with a replacement blonde human hair & nylon wig. She is marked "69-12x Germany Handwerck 4" on the back of her neck. Her body is marked "Excelsior Germany 4" and she stands 22" tall. She is dressed in 70s replacement dress made of white cotton with a floral print. The dress is handmade with lace trim and a small pocket on a string holding a tiny handkerchief. Under her dress, she has an old cotton slip and pantaloons---both trimmed with lace. Her socks are black knit and she has vintage brown oilcloth shoes. The pierced earrings with pink drops are from the 80s. Condition: Her bisque head is in good condition with no cracks or repairs but there is some damage to the eyelids. There is some wear on the body with small cracks in the paint around the neck and joints. There is some damage to the paint in the palm of one hand. Her dress is very faded---the floral print is nearly gone. There is staining and wear on the undergarments. Her oilcloth shoes are worn. Her slip is too small for her. Her wig is shedding.
