Featuring 350 colour photographs with the loving face of each doll clearly visible to aid in the identification process. This book is a treasure trove filled with detailed photo captions that identify the maker. The author has used research methods to correct many so-called names to the authentic original name. Each doll is credited to the decade in which it was primarily produced. Male china dolls, all-china dolls and reproduction china dolls are described in chapters that are separate from the ten decades of china doll production.

Identifying German Chinas, 1840s-1930s by Mary Gorham Krombholz,
By M. Nelaborige (Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Identifying German Chinas, 1840s-1930s (Hardcover)
I found this book to be extremely helpful in identifying what is rather a vague and (by its nature and the proliferation of unmarked examples) collectibles category. The author really trains you on what to notice and look for between decades and styles (which often cross over quite a bit). Worth every penny.

This is an excellent resource for collectors of china dolls. How nice to know who made some of my unmarked dolls.
