Information on how we appraise antique, bisque dolls and the factors we consider when determing their market value: We closely examine the doll for any imperfections, most importantly, the bisque: To examine the bisque, we preform a light test, which involves removing the wig and the pate and shining a bright light inside the head to reveal cracks and imperfections. For a dome head doll, we remove the head from the body by loosening the wire around the neck flange and shining a light inside. Simply shining a bright light through the bisque from the outside will not necessarily show a crack if you have a doll that has been professionally restored by another collector. When we sell a doll, we include if possible photos of the light test. The wigs are adhered with a water-soluable glue. Old wigs are usually adhered with a water-soluable horse glue. We carefully remove the wig and pate to reveal the inside of the head for the light test by dabbing cotton swabs in water and slowly soaking and then pealing back the wig from the base of the neck, dabbing a little water, step-by-step, being careful not to drench the wig, particularly if the wig is old and original. Wigs are made from mohair, hair, or possibly a synthetic material if the original wig has been replaced with a newer wig. Removing the wig and examing the underneath side and the pate also offers some hints of whether the wig is original to the doll or if another collector has replaced the wig and/or pate. While examining the head, we also closely examine the eyes for any chips or hairlines. Also, from the inside of the head, we check out the eye mechanism for any repair or restoration and determine whether the eye rocker is intact if the doll has eyes that open and close. We also note the condition of the eye wax and the lashes if any. The mouth, teeth, lips, are all examined for condition and restoration. The condition of the body contributes to the value of the doll. Is it original with the doll? Is it in good condition? On composition and wood bodies, we evaluate whether or not it has its original patina or whether it has been restored by another collector? All of these factors contribute to it's value for a consummate collector. We can't always determine these specifics because we do not know the history of the dolls in our collection. For that reason, we have professional photos of our dolls and we post large photographs of our dolls in our ads. We find that professional collectors can determine from a photo whether the body is the correct body type for the head and whether the body is in its original condition. Whether wood, composition or soft-bodied, we find that each doll is uniquely different and each has a different feel and quality, and although judging the intrinsic quality of a doll is subjective on our part, we do factor the overall quality of the doll when setting its value. The quality and style of the doll's clothing can add or subtract from the value of the doll. In our experience, it is uncommon to find original clothing on a doll, but the doll gets higher marks if the clothing is in the style of the original wardrobe or if the doll has appropriate vintage clothing.
Doll markings and historical value: We identify the doll by its markings on the back of the neck and the body, using our reference library of doll books and doll maker guides such as this guide from 200 Years of Dolls by Dawn Herlocher. We sell our dolls in their original state as found in the collection unless noted otherwise because we want to maintain the historical value of the doll. We do not clean clothing or wigs before selling the dolls in our collection. Since care and display of a doll is an individual preference, we leave the aesthetics of the doll to the new buyer. If we cannot determine the doll maker or doll type or if the doll has unique attributes or damage that we think might appreciably add to or subtract from its market value based on its book price, we seek an appraisal from a professional, partifularly Jan Foulke at janfoulke.com |

![]() SOLD Wax doll, 17" tall Noted doll expert Jan Foulke appraised this was doll as either a Pierotti or a Montanari. See the Jan Foulke appraisal of Aug. 31, 2008, below. Click to see enlarged doll photos, submitted to Jan Foulke for appraisal. "This is a 17-inch antique doll with wax shoulder head, arms and legs made in London, England. It is similar to the dolls made by the Montanari and Pierotti families, who brought their wax making skills from Italy. Pierotti is credited with inventing the Royal Model Baby in the early 1850s. Queen Victoria had many babies during this period and interest in them spurred the production of luxury wax dolls, many done as portraits of the royal babies. The Royal Models were shown at the 1851 Exhibition and were very well received, though expensive. Other makers jumped on the successful bandwagon, so if the doll is not signed or labeled, it is difficult to know the maker. The dolls continued being made until around 1900. Although older children and even adults were depicted in wax dolls, your doll appears to be a baby because of her stout face and short hair. She should be dressed in an elaborate Christening ensemble with dress, underwear, hat and robe. Her condition seems to be excellent, although lacking some of her hair, and she doesn’t seem to have her real eyelashes and eyebrows. Perhaps they are worn away, or perhaps she is an economy model and didn’t have any." - Janice H. Foulke (August 31, 2008) |

Clothing: dress and pantaloon; socks; hand-stitched, red cape Dec. 20th, Jan Foulke Doll Appraisal: This cute little 9-inch antique German child doll with bisque head and composition body was made by Johann Walther. The elaborate mark on the back of her head is actually a fancy 'W' for 'Walther.'In 1900 he started a factory for dressed dolls and in 1908, a porcelain factory, Walther & Co., that later became Walther & Sohn. Both the doll and porcelain factories were in Oeslau near Coburg, Thuringia, Germany. The porcelain factory specialized in all-bisque dolls, doll heads, baby doll heads and bathing dolls. This was a time of great competition in the doll industry and companies were cutting costs by producing cheaper bodies, hence the “sawdust and glue” bodies and limbs , sometimes even with cardboard torsos. After all, they were covered by clothes, so if they weren't pretty it didn't really matter! Dolls like her in simple original factory dress and hat sold for 86 cents.

![]() SOLD Click to see his new home on our Doll Story Page AM 1894 6/0 DEP 9-inches tall Open mouth, square teeth; Original dress Socket head A.M. 1894 Oriental JAN FOULKE DOLL APPRAISAL, AUG. 19, 2008: "This 9-inch doll was made by the huge and world-renowned Armand Marseille doll factory in Koppelsdorf, Germany. The mold of this bisque head dates from 1894, and is one of A.M.s earliest models. A doll similar to this was offered in the 1895 Butler Bros. catalogue as part of a novelty assortment of dolls dressed as American Indians and Chinese, “all in characteristic national costumes.” The head has a slight yellow tint to indicate an Oriental complexion. The matching five-piece composition body has red slippers with turned-up shoes to indicate an Oriental style. One shoe has some flaking and paint loss, but this is an easy repair for a doll restorer. The doll is all original with long black mohair wig and Chinese style costume including tunic, pants and jacket with hat. Of course, this is interesting to a collector because it is the German concept of a Chinese. German-made dolls with Oriental bisque heads are very desirable collectibles. This was made during a time in history when with the expansion of travel Europeans and Americans were becoming more attuned to the world and becoming more interested in native peoples. It would be a lovely addition to a collection of international dolls." Value on today’s market $550. -Janice H. Foulke Reference: Pg. 263 of 200 Years of Dolls (3rd Edition) by Dawn Herlocher |

![]() SOLD Unmarked VINTAGE FRENCH FASHION DOLL FROM THE 1960s Height: 16 inches Earrings Mohair wig Bisque swivel head Bisque shoulder plate Fine gusseted kid body: stitched fingers and toes Elegant clothing and hat Vintage leather shoes JAN FOULKE APPRAISAL: This 17-inch doll is a 1960s interpretation of an antique French fashion lady or poupée peau. During the 1960s a large group of dolls came from France into the United States, many through the old New York Doll Hospital. These dolls were supposedly found in a warehouse and dated from pre-World War I, but subsequent research revealed that this story was not true. They were made in the 1960s by a French lady and her son, and they were aged to look older. There were both bisque and china fashions in the French style, some marked with F.G. in Scroll or F + G, and some such as yours with an earlier style face were unmarked. Comparison with a genuine antique doll immediately reveals the differences: bisque too smooth, color too gray and orange, ears not well defined, piercing holes too small, glass eyes lacking depth and detail, wrong kind of pates, cheap coarse mohair wigs, new neck buttons, bodies not stiffly stuffed, and not carefully stitched, though some like yours were aged a carmel color. Value on today's market in perfect condition, fully dressed in new silk fashion gown and hat, undies, shoes and socks -- $450-550. - Janice H. Foulke |

Quote from buyer: She is everything I had hoped that she would be! She is an authentic Bleuette doll made between 1922-1933. I carefully snipped her clothing off to check her body....and to verify her markings. I love her..I'll leave great feedback and I am so very happy. |

| Page Top TERMINOLOGY AND SHIPPING OF BISQUE DOLLS WITH GLASS EYES: The description "fixed eyes" usually means factory set; never slept. "Fixed" in this case does not mean repaired. It means set in place and do not move. The description "fixed eyes" is more a European term than American. U.S. collectors usually refer to such as "stationary eyes."
If a doll originally had sleep eyes, but they no longer sleep, the doll's eyes are described as: "Originally had sleeping eyes which have been replastered (or reset) and no longer sleep." Regarding dolls with this construction, we include a note that states whether or not the weight is still present so that it would be possible for the eyes to be properly reset to sleep and whether or not the eyes are broken off the rocker. Packing dolls with sleep eyes: To ship a bisque doll safely and to protect the delicate eye mechanism, we remove the wig and add soft packing material to the inside of the head. When the buyer receives the doll, the packing material must be delicately removed and the wig re-glued with a water-soluable glue. For a dome head, the head will need to be repositioned on the body. |
