Super Grand Kestner Early All Bisque
SOLD |
 |
 |
 |
The
colossal presence of this grand (11 1/2"), early Kestner
all bisque can only be 100% appreciated in person, however it is a thrill to
even lay eyes on her photos. The advanced detail of her painting and molding
is present from her youthful facial features to her robust muscular body and
limbs, to the painstaking and realistic sculpting of her hands and feet. The
gifted artistry of those who produced these is astonishing.
|
 |
 |
 |
She has rich, brown glass sleep
eyes, and open mouth with square-cut teeth, and original, long blond
mohair wig, swivel neck and an e bisque body that is jointed at the
shoulders and hips and realistically shaded. She is just marked with an
incised “5” on the back of her head her condition is as close to perfect
as can be. On her right upper leg at the hip there is a miniscule fleck,
that must be mentioned due to the fact that it is so microscopic, you
may miss it. Her antique clothing is a combination of light, cotton
garments with lace trims, only meant to cover her, but not too much!

Mignonette with Extra Personality
$1875. |
 |
 |
 |
There is something extra ordinary about this
6", ginger-haired all bisque girl with her
slim, mignonette torso and limbs, pale, early bisque, dark blue glass eyes
and closed smiling lips. She is most probably from a German maker like
Gebruder Kuhnlenz for the French market, as she could easily stand next to
her BTE friends and add some spice and personality to the setting.
Could it be her long, red mohair wig of curls? |
 |
 |
 |
In addition to having a swivel neck, add having her elongated, slim limbs
jointed at the shoulders and hips, she has molded two strap black shoes and
a rare, pumpkin stocking color with to contribute to her perkiness. At
the front of her torso at the neck rim, there is a minute shaving of bisque
that is not distracting but must be mentioned. For clothing, she wears
an antique frock of fine white cotton with lace inlay and antique cotton
pantaloons underneath. |
