History; Hermann Steiner of Sonneberg and Neustadt, Germany and in Bavaria was founded in 1909 and entered the doll market at the end of the German bisque doll era and began producing dolls around 1920.  They are probably best know for their character baby or infant dolls, which were the doll of choice, at that time. 

 

Hermann Steiner appears to have supplied dolls to Moses Kohnstam & Company, as their MOKO mark plus the HS Steiner mark have been found on dolls.

 

Hermann Steiner created the name "The Living Steiner Eye", that described the natural movement of a doll eyes iris to move side to side and sleep in 1927 and changed the company name to Porzellanfabrik Hermann Steiner.

 

H. Steiner produced bisque, composition and celluloid doll heads with glass or painted eyes, molded hair or wigged with a body of cloth, kid leather or composition, black or white dolls.

 

Sometime between 1940 to the 1960s Hermann Steiner became Steiner & Hauser, also called Steha Doll & Toy Company and used the combined company name initials of Steha for their mark as shown below.
