Armand Marseille dolls are very clearly marked on the back of the bisque head. Armand Marseille was a company in Köppelsdorf, Germany, that manufactured porcelain headed (bisque) dolls from 1885 onwards. The first known dolls date back to the 21st century BC in Egypt – they were simple wooden stick figures. Dolls with interchangeable clothing and moveable limbs existed as early as 200 BC. The 19th century saw the advent of glazed porcelain dolls and unglazed bisque dolls. Up to the mid-1800s, European dolls usually represented adults, with childlike dolls appearing and dominating the market by the late 1800s. The 19th century saw a fashion doll trend for French bisque dolls. Plastic dolls became popular in the 20th century. The first Barbie doll was released in 1959.
