Bruno Schmidt "Wendy" & Ernst Heubach Bisques

Updated August 22, 2026

This lot includes two antique German dolls. The first is a Bruno Schmidt bisque socket head doll incised with the BSW heart mark and Made in Germany. The doll features a character face known as Wendy with blue glass sleep eyes, painted eyelashes, and an open mouth with four inset upper teeth. It is mounted on a composition and wood ball-jointed body. The doll is dressed in a pink cotton frock with a green ribbon waistband, a white cotton slip, lace-trimmed pantaloons, knit socks, and pink ribbon-tie shoes. The second is an Ernst Heubach bisque shoulder head doll incised with a horseshoe mark. It features blue glass sleep eyes, painted lashes, and an open mouth with four inset upper teeth. The doll has a gusseted kid leather body with cloth lower legs and bisque forearms. It is costumed in a maroon velvet dress with lace trim and mother-of-pearl buttons, a matching velvet and lace bonnet, a white cotton slip, and bloomers. Bruno Schmidt: 23 inches, Ernst Heubach: 21 inches. Both dolls show expected wear due to their age and handling. The bisque heads remain in good condition. The composition body on the Bruno Schmidt doll shows surface cracking and finish loss consistent with age. The kid leather body displays age-related staining, and the arm requires repair.
