Porcelain Dolls







Abandoned doll factory in Thuringia

 One of the items I enjoy collecting and looking at if I can't  afford it are German dolls of the last century.  I happened upon a fellow who took these pics of the abandoned factories where the dolls were once made.  It was a flourishing business up until the wars, then lots of building were bombed or abandoned and there was little money for things like dolls and toys.  I can only imagine the grand activity that once took place in doll factories.  I know it was grand because the surviving dolls made in German factories can be found in the best museums and private collections.
