www.calendarik.by publishes the next Exhibition "China Porcelain Dolls" from the series of exhibitions "Beautiful China". 

Porcelain dolls (so - called "Chinese" - China) are dolls made of glazed sponge cake, which gives them a shiny appearance. Usually, the difference between dolls made of non-glazed porcelain (sponge cake) is that antique baby dolls have glass eyes and wigs, such as the well-known baby dolls from Armand Marseille, Kestner, Jumeau, and other doll companies. "Chinese" dolls, as a rule, had molded hair and painted eyes (although not always).

A special direction of modern, including Chinese, applied art is the creation of the so-called author's doll.

The author's doll is most often made in a single copy, it is the fruit of a long laborious work. It can have a portrait resemblance to a certain person , its own set of clothes and miniature accessories, be made like a monolithic sculpture, one-piece or have articulated joints, such a doll can be given almost any emotional pose.

The author's doll is intended, rather, for contemplation. For the production of the author's doll, there are a huge number of specialized materials, technologies and popular techniques have been developed. Communities of fans of the Author's doll on the Internet number thousands of people.

Author's dolls are divided into many genres (for example, a characteristic realistic doll, a fantasy doll, a "doll without a doll" , etc.), performance techniques (for example, hot and cold plastic, porcelain, textile dolls and foamiran dollsa) and for the intended purpose (collection, interior, etc.).

In recent years, the modern art of the author's doll has generated demand not only among collectors, but also art historians, interior designers, clothing designers and even architects. The presence of the author's doll in the interior has long been a good tone and an indicator of the refined taste of the owners. Hundreds of major exhibitions dedicated to the art of the doll are held annually around the world.
