Ernst Heubach Dolls 1887-1932+ German. Ernst Heubach's porcelain factory was in Koppelsdorf, Germany. They made bisque doll heads on kid or composition bodies. Ernst Jr. married Beatrice Marseille, daughter of Armand Marseille and one of Heubach's sculptors had a brother that worked as a sculptor also at Marseille, which may explain why their dolls have similarities to one another. In 1919 Heubach and A. Marseilles merged and formed the United Porcelain Factory of Koppelsdorf (Vereinigte Koppelsdorf Porzellanfabrik vorm Armand Marseille and Ernst Heubach). By 1932 the two companies went their separate ways.
