A china head doll consists of a glazed porcelain head with painted molded hair and a body made of cloth or leather. They range in size from more than 30" tall to as tiny as and inch. Produced in Germany, approximately between 1840 and 1940. What's fun in collecting and identifying these sweet dolls is by their contemporary hairstyles: sausage curls, ribbons, headbands, Dolly Madison, flat top, high brow, low brow, covered wagon, and the list goes on.
Both dolls are what would be called a low brow China Head Doll.
