Dating approximately to the early 20th century, these collectible half dolls display delicate facial features, attractive period hairstyles, beautifully modelled details and lovely pastel colours.

The collection includes one larger German porcelain half doll with an unusual raised-arm pose, accompanied by two smaller decorative ladies.

She features an elaborate powdered-grey hairstyle decorated with pale blue bows, delicate hand-painted facial features, rosy cheeks and softly coloured lips.

Both arms are beautifully positioned upwards, with her hands resting against her elaborate hairstyle. The extended arms and delicate fingers make this a particularly desirable example, especially when preserved without damage.

She wears a pale blue sleeveless dress and has an elaborate swept-up grey hairstyle decorated with a red headband and a colourful floral ornament featuring blue petals and an orange centre.

The softly painted facial features and unusual headpiece make this a lovely example of early 20th-century decorative porcelain.
