About the Item
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.
German half dolls were most popular from the early 1900s through the 1930s, produced by esteemed porcelain manufacturers such as Dressel & Kister, Galluba & Hofmann, and Goebel. These figures were traditionally used atop pincushions, powder boxes, lamp shades, or even boudoir accessories, blending function and femininity. As styles shifted during the Art Deco era, so too did these dolls, evolving to reflect contemporary tastes while often referencing historical fashion — as seen in this stunning blend of Art Deco and Rococo influences.
