I love porcelain dolls. I understand how most people find them creepy but I don't. Every doll was made and designed for everyone to enjoy and I've been collecting since 2021 and I currently have 17 dolls all of different heights, clothing aesthetics, different face molds too. I cherish these dolls and I wouldn't want anything to happen too them because of the joy they give me 💕

Hi, I have autism to. I been collecting porcelain dolls because it makes me feel comfort because I’m very lonely and I I’m homeschooled and I don’t have any friends my dolls are my friends. They seemed all to have their own personalities and looks it can be very interesting. I’m currently 17. Yeah some people do you think they’re creepy like my mother

Ich finde diese Art puppen so wunderschön und überhaupt viel schöner als die neuzeitlichen puppen. Und die damaligen kinder liebten ihre puppenkinder. Und waren sehr achtsam mit ihren Spielsachen umgegangen. Heute werden puppen oft in die Ecke geschmissen.

The antique dolls are actually bisque not porcelain. Most with composition bodies. Some of the dolls you have shown are from the 1930’s and 40’s and have composition heads which were less breakable than bisque. I find it annoying when people refer to antique dolls as creepy these were loved play dolls for children.

Les poupées en biscuit étaient très chères, le montant d’un mois de salaire d’un ouvrier. En principe, elles n’étaient achetées que dans les familles aisées et il était interdit d’y toucher, juste la regarder. La poupée Bleuette de début 1900 a changé cela. Elle avait un trousseau à réaliser selon le journal la semaine de Suzette. Ces poupées étaient trop fragiles et cassables, et du coup dangereuses pour un enfant. (Risque de coupure). Pour moi, ce sont des objets de collection à laisser sous vitrine pour ne pas abîmer les vêtements d’origine. Ce n’est pas un jouet, et doit être manipuler avec précaution. J’ai aussi des poupées de créateurs de 1970/80 en biscuit. Aussi très fragiles.
