Bisque doll
A bisque doll or porcelain doll is a doll made partially or wholly out of bisque porcelain. Bisque dolls are characterized by their realistic, skin-like matte finish. They had their peak of popularity between 1860 and 1900 with French and German dolls. Bisque dolls are collectible, and antique dolls can be worth thousands of US dollars. Antique German and French bisque dolls from the 19th century were often made as children's playthings, but contemporary bisque dolls are predominantly made directly for the collectors market.〔〔
Colloquially the terms ''porcelain doll'', ''bisque doll'' and ''china doll'' are sometimes used interchangeably. But collectors, when referring to antique dolls, make a distinction between china dolls, made of glazed porcelain, and bisque dolls, made of unglazed porcelain. When referring to contemporary dolls the terms ''porcelain'' and ''bisque'' are sometimes used interchangeably.
==Bisque dolls==
Most bisque dolls have a head made of bisque porcelain and a body made of another material.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=An Introduction to Bisque Dolls - About.com )〕 Bisque is unglazed porcelain with a matte finish, giving it a realistic skin-like texture.〔 It is usually tinted or painted a realistic skin color.〔 The bisque head is attached to a body made of cloth or leather, or a jointed body made of wood, papier-mâché or composition, a mix of pulp, sawdust, glue and similar materials.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Glossary of Doll Collecting Terms - Composition - About.com )〕 Doll bodies are only rarely made entirely of bisque because of its fragility and weight.〔 Dolls that are made entirely of bisque are called all-bisque dolls. Bisque dolls usually have eyes made of glass.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Brief History of Antique Dolls, Part II - About.com )〕〔 They vary widely in size, from lifesize down to half an inch.〔
When producing a bisque doll, ceramic raw materials are shaped in a mold and fired at more than 1260 °C (2300 °F). The head is painted more than once to create skin tones and facial characteristics, and then fired again after each layer.〔 Antique German and French bisque dolls from the 19th century were often made as children's playthings, but contemporary bisque dolls are predominantly made directly for the collectors market.〔〔
