H. Handwerck bisque head Dolly Face doll mold 109, 15"
|
Heinrich and Minna Handwerck dolls were produced
in Waltershausen, Thüringia, Germany beginning in 1876 until they were
purchased by Kammer & Reinhardt in 1902
after Heinrich Sr. passed away at the young age of 44. After 1921 Heinrich
Handwerck Jr. re-founded the factory in Gotha near Waltershausen. K & R continued to produce
the Handwerck molds until at least 1932, between that time period they
added "oHG" to the marking.
Handwerck's bisque doll heads
were designed by Handwerck, but produced by
Simon & Halbig and are of
high quality and fine workmanship which continued under the K & R
ownership.
Heinrich Handwerck is probably best
known for their Bébé dolly faced bisque head child dolls and babies, kid or
composition jointed bodies, they also produced some celluloid dolls, too. |
