Amazing Dolls







My wife collects dolls and she has a website of mainly Bisque Dolls
( a Bisque Doll is one that has a head of unglazed Porcelain)

and I was quite surprised at some of the prices these fetch - from $ 12 up to $6000 !

I have persuaded her to add other dolls and these vary from Victorian and earlier dolls right up to novel and unusual dolls like African and Oriental Fertility Dolls.

The Japanese ones were particularly beautiful and elegant and included those medical dolls that Japanese ladies used to point out their ailments to doctors.

I've put up a few pictures that she has on the website at the moment.
there is a Jumeau from France and several Kestner Dolls from Germany ( these are the most collectible Bisque Dolls)

(I should point out that some of these are auctions and may only be there for a couple of days)
