The company that likely produced these bisque babies was the German company of Gebruder Heubach, which has operated from 1800s until the present day. They did many detailed and handpainted bisque babies from figurines to piano babies. These three pictured would be an excellent beginning to a collection. 4.75in Heubach bisque baby by egg c.1910. Pinky finger nicked. Small nick on egg. Marked. $450.00 4in Heubach Dutch girl w/ two egg shaped baskets. Marked c.1910 $395.00 3.75in Heubach bisque piano baby.

There are quite a few pieces of this United States Navy dinnerware available besides what's pictured. Tepco, Homer Laughlin, and a few other companies produced this pattern of china for the Navy and the Army Medical Department during World War II. The dark blue anchor mark on top signifies that the china was intended specifically for use by the Wardroom Officer. Various prices. Pieces pictured: 7in celery dish $25.00. 7in plate $14.00. Cream soup $20.00.

Many folks remember Franciscan's Desert Rose as the pattern they grew up with. Sometimes another sibling inherited it from Mom, and the other kids start collecting it to make their own dinner services in the pattern they loved as kids. Other times it's sheer nostalgia for the idealized peace and prosperity of the '50s that many adults today never experienced. The classic floral design has never gone out of style. Tiered tidbit tray, $149.95. Jumbo mugs (more available than what's pictured), $39.95 each. Small plate, $6.00. Many other pieces available upon request.

Japanese brightly colored lustre ware is easily recognizable once you've seen a few pieces. Many different companies made it, and the MIJ era began in 1921, when the Nippon backstamp was phased out. Then, with the American occupation of Japan in 1947, the stamp changed for 4 years to Made In Occupied Japan, and after that paper labels became more common. Biscuit barrels are collectable in just about any form, and this 7in Japanese lustre barrel, $150.00, is a particularly fun and whimsical example.

Beswick Pottery in Staffordshire, England, introduced high glaze animal figurines in 1934. The handpainted detail immediately charmed collectors. Their line, created in 1947, of anthropomorphic animals from the children's stories by Beatrix Potter were wildly successful and are still immensely popular today. 3.5in 'Old Mr. Brown' owl being tickled by Squirrel Nutkin, $150.00. 4in 'Lady Mouse', $65.00. 'Anna Maria' w/ 2nd mark, $350.00.

German so-called 'Half Dolls' are the most detailed and desirable of the genre. Most of them began life as tea cozies, with a puffy skirt attached where the porcelain doll ended, at the waist, to cover a functional object like a teapot. The ones with the best detail and arms held away from the body are the most collectable. The task of molding a doll with the arms held away from the body was extremely difficult. Goebel 'Lottie' with the desirable 'arms away' position, priced at $465.00. 3in half doll by Goebel holding a fan, with a Marie Antoinette hairstyle, priced at $195.00. 5in Goebel holding a rose, for $235.00.

Spode China, in Staffordshire, England, perfected the new method of producing bone china in the late 1700s. To this day, Spode China and it's colorful transfer patterns are recognized as one of the premier quality producers of dinner services. These items pictured are all in the Fairy Dell pattern. Platter, 11in priced at $88.50. Gravy w/ liner, $110.00. Covered sugar bowl w/ lid (chip) $18.50.

Royal Bayreuth porcelain made some of the most beloved transfer designs on porcelain, and had many whimsically shaped blanks on which to apply them. The firm has been operating in Tettau, Germany since 1794. These three have excellent transfer designs. 5.5in three handled Royal Bayreuth vase with an English sterling top lip and transfer design of musicians. $95.00. 5in grey sailboat motif bowl w/ enamel beading, priced at $176.50. 5in green pitcher w/ transfer design of ladies, $245.00.
