Sonneberger Porzellanfabrik Bisque Dolls 1893+ German
The Sonneberger Porzellanfabrik factory was owned by Carl Müller in 1883 in Sonneberg, Germany. By 1893 this factory was making bisque doll heads. They made bisque socket or shoulder heads of black or white Baby or Child dolls.
According to Cieslik’s’s German Doll Encyclopedia the Sonneberger factory stopped making doll heads in 1913 and specialized in producing porcelain locks for beer bottles. About 1920 Sonneberger appears to have resumed making dolls under a new owner Edmund Fleischmann. Mr. Fleischmann left the firm in 1930. It is unknown to us exactly when Sonneberger Porzellanfabrik operations ceased sometime after 1948.
