Some collector\'s call these \'half doll\' \'tea-cosie dolls\' \'pin heads\' and \'whisk-broom dolls\'. A pin doll can be recognised as the top half of the doll is made of porcelain and the bottom edge has small holes for thread. The porcelain doll was stitched to a large voluminous fabric skirt. Today the pin doll is usually found without the fabric at the bottom.
Pin Dolls can often be found wearing a bonnet, and or holding a fan. Pin dolls were mostly produced in Germany and made of bisque porcelain and often hand painted. Dressel and Kister in Germany were famous for producing delicate half dolls beautifully decorated, they were extremely popular during the Victorian period. The skill and craftsmanship that went into producing these dolls are faultless which makes them a popular collector\'s choice today.
Pin cushions, or pin dolls, only became a true necessity once sewing implements were mass produced during the middle of the 19th century. The crudely made pins and needles used before the Industrial Revolution were costly and typically stored in small boxes and cases. While pin pillows and un-mounted cushions emerged in 15th-century England, it wasn’t until pins were widely affordable during the 1800s that cushions were commonly sold as trinkets or commemorative gifts.
