After 1921 Heinrich Handwerck Jr. re-founded the factory in Gotha near Waltershausen. K & R continued to produce the Handwerck molds until at least 1932, between that time period they added "oHG" to the marking. Handwerck's bisque doll heads were designed by Handwerck, but produced by Simon & Halbig and are of high quality and fine workmanship which continued under the K & R ownership. Heinrich Handwerck is probably best known for their Bébé dolly faced bisque head child dolls and babies, kid or composition jointed bodies. PROVENANCE: A Charleston SC Private Estate.
