all-bisque

All-Bisque Dolls Small dolls have one thing in common: The entire is of bisque. Most are German and from the beginning of this century. Some are head-torso dolls, others one-piece dolls, dolls with molded shoes and socks, dolls with molded clothes. Some have painted, others glass eyes. Some have molded hair, others cut-off crown and wig. These are our newest all-bisque dolls and old favorites-all delightfully detailed and fun to create.

Key: Complete = # Mold(s} for complete doll. If more than one mold is included, ST (for Set) is added to item number. Head-torso doll: Head and torso are one piece. Shoulders and hips are jointed. General instructions for creating all-bisque dolls in Small Dolls and Making Dolls, The Authentic Way, both by Eva Oscarsson.
