Description
crawling, 10" long, attributed to Heubach, pinkie finger loss...Piano Babies were oddly popular in the late 1800s as decorations for pianos. I say oddly, because what, really does a chubby bisque baby have to do with pianos or music? In any event, these sweet chubby babies, clothed or unclothed, were made of bisque, and sat on the end of the piano as decoration and to hold down the fabric usually found decorating grand pianos in homes. Piano Babies ranged in size from about 4 inches to 12 inches long, were generally unojinted (some say that puts them more in the realm of figurines than dolls), and made by German dollmaking firms such as Gebruder Heubach
