Luigi Furga Dolls 1950s-1970s Italy

Furga Doll mark The Luigi Furga doll company began in 1872 to present, the first dolls from Italian Furga factory were made of papier mache and wax masks. Then they imported bisque heads from Germany to be put on their dolls. About WW I Furga built their own porcelain factory for bisque heads and all bisque dolls. By 1929 Furga bisque heads rivaled those of Germany. They also made some pressed felt, composition and hard plastic and vinyl dolls. Furga dolls were always of good quality.

Early Furga dolls did not make it to the American market, but were exported to some South American countries and England. Furga dolls usually found in the USA, are generally from the 1960s-1970s, which were sold through Montgomery Ward, JC Penney, Sears and other catalogs (offsite link).
