About Porcelain Half Dolls:
Porcelain half dolls became popular in the late 19th to early 20th century, especially in Europe. Designed to be sewn onto pincushions or used in decorative items, they showcased fashionable costumes of the era. The "Foreign" mark was commonly used on export porcelain from Germany and other European countries after 1893 to meet international trade requirements.
