German Porcelain Dolls - Schneider Dolls on Sale !

We have a wide selection of authentic German porcelain dolls made in the black forest region of Germany by hand. Dolls have been a part of humankind since the old times. Used to depict religious figures or used as playthings, early German dolls were most likely made from primitive materials such as clay, fur, or wood. No dolls have survived from prehistoric times, although a fragment of an alabaster doll with movable arms from the Babylonian period was reportedly recovered. Porcelain became popular at the start of the 19th century. Porcelain is made by firing special clays in a kiln at more than 2372 degrees Fahrenheit. Only a select few clays can withstand firing at such high temperatures. Porcelain is used generically to refer to both china and bisque dolls.
