The company was also known as Porzellanfabrik von Alt. Their porcelain doll heads were manufactured around the 1860 to 1880 and the company started to export these to the United States from 1882 up until 1930 when its operations halted.

Question by : Where is the best place to sell porcelain fairy dolls (online preferably)?
My late mother-in-law collected fairy dolls. Most came from Ashton Drake and the like. She had little ones about 6″ tall all the way up to some that are a little over 2′ tall.

They are absolutely beautiful, but we need to . . . → Read More: Where is the best place to sell porcelain fairy dolls (online preferably)?

Question by deliriouscuriosity: Expensive music-playing doll?
I’m a writer and I need a very expensive, music-playing doll for a story I’m working on. China/porcelain head, any song, pretty, something a little girl would like, antique, and very valuable. But, at the same time, something an 80 year-old woman could pull out of her attic without realizing it was worth anything (what she might have been given as a child, or could have belonged to her mother). Please, any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Best answer:
Answer by Steven DClockwork dolls are indeed rare and expensive.

There are several factors to be borne in mind when buying antique dolls. Let’s run through the most important.
