Porcelain firms also offered legs and bases in order that pincushion ladies could be
posed standing. Shown here are three examples from the 1920s; hidden beneath
the cloth skirt of each is a padded pincushion.

An offshoot of the half-doll trend in the early 1900s was that of the bathing
beauty, also known as naughty nudies. Especially rare in this category is the
double-figured model. It was likely extremely expensive because its intricate
construction necessitated more laborious work, and, likely, extensive breakage
during the production.

Why not collect variations of
painting? Why not collect candy
boxes or sewing boxes with full
or half doll decorations? And
what about bathing beauties,
wedding cake toppers, bottle
stoppers? What about porcelain
vignettes which incorporated the
models found also as half dolls?
Ah, delightfully, the collecting
possibilities are endless!
Until the 1970s, there was
little published attention paid
to the subject of half dolls.
Pioneer doll authors such as
Janet Johl and Clara Fawcett,
writing in the 1950s, made no
mention of them as half dolls
although a careful reading of
their works finds reference to
"costume dolls" which may
have been half dolls. Then, in
1974, Frieda Marion produced
her slim little book, China
Half-Figures called Pincushion
Dolls in which she proclaimed
"produced to ornament utilitarian
objects, the charming half-figures,
rich in a variety of design, were
neither children's playthings nor
decorative figurines, but had a life
of their own." She wrote later
that she was astounded at the
popular response to her book,
and, beginning a collaboration
with Norma Werner, five years
later published the 608 page
landmark book, The Encyclopedia
of Half Dolls, which remained
the only go-to reference work on
the subject until the early 2000s
when Shona and Marc Lorrin
presented their four volume
series, The Half Doll, which
breathed new knowledge into
this collecting genre.
The half dolls shown in this
article are from the 600 item
private collection of Hanne Büktas
of Vienna, Austria.
