Porcelain dolls
Porcelain dolls are made out of bisque porcelain. Bisque is
unglazed porcelain which gives the dolls realistic skin look and texture.
Now days, the terms
porcelain doll, china doll and bisque doll are used to describe the same thing.
Usually, only collectors will know the difference between them. For instance-
china dolls are made of glazed porcelain while bisque dolls are made of
unglazed porcelain.
The dolls head is painted with a few layers to create skin tones
and realistic look. The Dolls bodies hardly ever made out of bisque because of
its Fragility and weigh.
The porcelain dolls were popular in the 19th century with French
and German dolls.
Today the dolls are collectible and can be very valuable, depending
on the quality and condition of the doll.
