Simon & Halbig is a doll manufacturer known for bisque doll heads with subtle colouring. They were based in Thuringen, the centre of the German doll industry. They supplied doll heads to many other well known doll makers. These are now collectables. == Description == 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 )〕 Many, like Simon & Halbig, came from the Thuringia region, which has natural deposits of the clay used to make the dolls.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Brief History of Antique Dolls, Part II )〕 Simon & Halbig was known for excellent sculpting of their doll heads, and the high quality of their bisque (porcelain). German childlike dolls were predominantly produced between 1890 and 1930.〔 Examples of these dolls can be found in the Barry Elder collection in the Judges' Lodgings Museum, Lancaster〔Judges' Lodgings, Lancaster Description Panel〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simon & Halbig」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
