Porcelain Dolls

Porcelain dolls have been favorites of little girls all around the world for over two centuries now. Originally introduced in the late 18th century, these baby dolls have become icons of childhood. They are just as popular today as they have ever been in the past.

Porcelain dolls, sometimes referred to as "China dolls", were originally created in Europe. The term "China" refers to the type of porcelain that was commonly used, not the Asian nation. In many cases, the doll's head was sold by itself, and the buyer would sew the body together separately.

Porcelain dolls are made in an amazingly wide variety. While the most common versions are made to resemble actual babies, they are also available in toddler and even adult variations. Further variations can include dress fashions, stylable hair, and glass eyes.
