About the Item

Charming German Art Deco Porcelain Half Doll – Marked "Germany 3851" This delightful German porcelain half doll captivates with her petite size, making her all the more charming. She embodies the essence of 1920s Art Deco style with her sleek jet-black flapper hairstyle, rosy cheeks, and striking pose—one hand resting across her waist while the other sits sassily on her hip. Dressed in a modest white blouse with a red collar and cuffs, she exudes both elegance and attitude. Marked Germany 3851 on her lower back, she remains in good condition with no chips or cracks, showing only minor paint loss to her hair and collar, along with a gentle patina in her creases. Half dolls were widely produced in the first half of the 20th century, often used as decorative elements atop pincushions, powder boxes, or brush handles. German porcelain makers, particularly during the Art Deco era, brought a level of artistry to these figures, favoring bold stylized features and fashionable silhouettes that reflected the modern, liberated spirit of the time.

1930 s German Art Deco Porcelain Half Doll
Located in Red Lion, PA
Stunning 1930s German Art Deco Porcelain Half Doll with Rococo Hairstyle This exquisite 1930s German porcelain half doll captures the refined beauty and timeless glamour of the Art Deco period, paired with the romantic influence of 18th-century Rococo style. Rendered in fine porcelain with exceptional attention to detail, this rare figure is a striking example of German artistry at its peak. Her delicate features are simply enchanting — bright blue eyes accented by soft blue eyeshadow, rosy cheeks, and vivid red lips, all hand-painted with precision. Her ornate updo evokes the powdered wigs of the 1700s, gathered high with an elegant bow at the back and a tiny tiara perched at the front, nodding to both historic elegance and theatrical flair. What sets this figure apart is her graceful, outstretched arms, posed in a fluid and balletic gesture, capturing a moment of poised movement. It’s a pose both sculptural and expressive, and one rarely seen in typical half dolls. Her condition is excellent, with no chips, cracks, or signs of repair. Here delicately painted features remain vivid after nearly a century. German half dolls...
