About the Item
Large 1920s Art Deco Porcelain Half Doll, Flapper with Exotic Metallic Bustier
This rare and striking early 20th century porcelain half-doll embodies the glamour, boldness, and playful sophistication of the Jazz Age. Measuring a substantial 5 inches tall, she is larger than many half-dolls of the period, making her presence all the more captivating.
She features a lovely curled blonde bob, the fashionable hairstyle of the 1920s, paired with finely painted details that exemplify Art Deco elegance: elongated vampy eyes, sculptural arched brows, and striking red lipstick that brings her face to life. Her most dramatic elements are her elegant dancer’s arms, raised in a graceful pose, and her exotic rose-pink bustier adorned with metallic breast covers, which is a highly unusual and eye-catching detail that sets her apart from more traditional examples.
Unmarked but finely modeled, she displays the quality and artistry often attributed to German or Austrian porcelain workshops of the 1920s. Half-dolls such as this were originally designed to be mounted on pin cushions, vanity boxes, or whisk brooms, and later became coveted decorative objects in their own right.
This example is in beautiful condition, free from chips, cracks, or wear, making her a rare survivor of her kind. Her quality, size, unique costume, and Art Deco styling make her a truly collectible piece for lovers of boudoir antiques, flapper-era fashion, and Art Deco porcelain figures. She does have 1 small speck of silver pain on her neck which is from the manufacturing process and not damage. Think of it like her silver freckle!

1930's German Art Deco Porcelain Half Doll
Located in Red Lion, PA
Stunning 1930s German Art Deco Porcelain Half Doll with Rococo Hairstyle
This exquisite 1930s German porcelain half doll captures the refined beauty and timeless glamour of the Art Deco period, paired with the romantic influence of 18th-century Rococo style. Rendered in fine porcelain with exceptional attention to detail, this rare figure is a striking example of German artistry at its peak.
Her delicate features are simply enchanting — bright blue eyes accented by soft blue eyeshadow, rosy cheeks, and vivid red lips, all hand-painted with precision. Her ornate updo evokes the powdered wigs of the 1700s, gathered high with an elegant bow at the back and a tiny tiara perched at the front, nodding to both historic elegance and theatrical flair.
What sets this figure apart is her graceful, outstretched arms, posed in a fluid and balletic gesture, capturing a moment of poised movement. It’s a pose both sculptural and expressive, and one rarely seen in typical half dolls. Her condition is excellent, with no chips, cracks, or signs of repair. Here delicately painted features remain vivid after nearly a century.
