Character doll
As character dolls "are dolls with expressive, lifelike faces" means.
history
In Germany, character dolls were first produced around 1908, whose faces were given an individualized expression. Until then, dolls from various manufacturers were idealized in terms of their facial expressions , but now doll heads were created that, like real children and babies, had individual , naturalistic and mostly expressive facial features that were based on nature .
The German Historical Museum is in possession of a 39 cm tall "character baby" from the company Franz Schmidt and Co. with a head made of bisque porcelain with glass eyes on a body made of mixed material, which was typically clad for the time. In the broadcast and gadgets of the Bavarian television early character dolls were introduced.
