The dolls above are not porcelain but I liked the photo that showed the variety in colors for dolls. I have a friend who had one of these dolls. It had three faces so you could change the expression from happy, sleeping to crying. It had a bonnet on so that the other two faces would be hidden. You couldn't tell that there were other faces hidden under the bonnet.

A funny thing happened to this doll. My friend came home one day and found it broken. Apparently a work person came in her apartment to fix the furnace. He must have accidentally dropped it. Maybe he was curious about it or something.

My friend never reported it or complained so I suspect that workman probably spent some time worried that he would get into trouble over this. If he had been honest he would have left a note telling my friend to call him and tell him the cost so he could replace it.
