A Pictorial Reference Guide to German Chinas Review: This book is the gold standard on the subject - This book is the GOLD standard for identification of german manufactured china head dolls. The book includes a range of different samples from each factory and shows how systematically and standardized the manufacture these dolls was even though they were made so long ago. Armed with these books, a hobbyist can confidently identify the china dolls in their collection. I know that was the first thing I did and found out the diversity I have in my own collection. Also, this is a beautiful book to look at and interesting to read the in-depth information in the book. Highly recommend this book to any doll collector interested in china or parian dolls. Review: Learn to identify the manufacturer of your china doll, and approximate date. - This newer book by Mary Krombholz is organized by factory, giving a better overview of the history of the seven major Thuringian porcelain factories that manufactured china dolls. This organization is more intuitive than her first book for comparing dolls made by one factory. A page of painting characteristics for that factory is included at the end of each chapter, with a range of examples shown. It is an excellent resource for learning the many types of china dolls, and learning how to distinguish by which factory an unmarked doll was made based on face painting characteristics. As with the previous book, the focus is on the shoulder-heads, not on the complete doll. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #6,067,775 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5,442 in Antiques & Collectibles Encyclopedias | | Customer Reviews | 5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars (13) | | Dimensions | 11.5 x 1.2 x 8.5 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0615296831 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0615296838 | | Item Weight | 2 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | July 13, 2009 | | Publisher | Reverie Publishing | ## Images ![A Pictorial Reference Guide to German Chinas - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91g9PhlF+3L.jpg) ![A Pictorial Reference Guide to German Chinas - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/913FfFDkV7L.jpg) ![A Pictorial Reference Guide to German Chinas - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hz0OU1rNL.jpg) ![A Pictorial Reference Guide to German Chinas - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kNRXb37EL.jpg) ![A Pictorial Reference Guide to German Chinas - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91RLpa5TgpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is the gold standard on the subject *by T***K on February 4, 2016* This book is the GOLD standard for identification of german manufactured china head dolls.
