A CHINESE SILK-MAKING FAMILY
A member found these antique ceramic heads in an estate sale; they are beautifully sculpted and painted. She made bodies and dressed them as a wealthy Chinese family in the silk trade. They resemble "Door of Hope" Chinese dolls, which are much sought-after. These heads were probably made during the same time period (early 1900's).
