Collectable itemContext
Alt, Beck & Gottschalck (ABG) was a prominent German manufacturer based in Nauendorf, Germany, founded in 1854 by Gottlieb Beck and Theodor Gottschalck. Known for high-quality china and Parian (white unglazed bisque) dolls, they specialized in detailed, fancy-haired, and child-styled heads (kinderkopfs) from the 1870s until the early 20th century. They produced porcelain and bisque doll heads from roughly 1864 until selling the factory in 1910 to Hertel, Schwab & Co.Collection
