I am liquidating my 25-year, top-quality German porcelain half doll collection. Unless otherwise stated, all the dolls in this collection are genuine, antique, vintage dolls. No reproductions. It is time to find new homes and new caretakers for these unusual, hard-to-find, and rare porcelain pincushion/half dolls. Welcome to my auctions.
...From Pauline's collection. Pre-1939. Long figure half doll. A very small group of manufacturers were innovative in producing a different type doll, long-figure half dolls. Their subjects were animals and birds with fully extended long tails and full-length, reclining human figures. This long-figure half doll is a reclining Pierrot in a yellow smock with broad white collar and black pompons and white loose pants. He wears a black skull cap with side curls on cheeks and forehead. Nicely painted face with amber eyes and blushed cheeks. He holds an closed fan in his hand. Theories as to the function of these long figures include use as handles sewn to nightdress cases and boudoir pillows, sewn to rectangular pincushions, or to powder puffs and powder pats with the long legs or tails a convenient way to hold and use the item. These rare, hard to find long figures are a novel and eye-catching way to add variety to your collection. Two other long figure half dolls also listed on eBay are: LONG-TAILED CAT ON POWDER PUFF; and RECLINING FLAPPER BATHING BEAUTY.
