GEBRUDER HEUBACH (1840-1937):
Heubach is the collector's name for Gebruder Heubach, a firm working in Lichten, Germany, from 1840 to 1937. It is best known for bisque dolls and doll heads, the principal products. The bisque dolls had molded hair or were wigged and had sleep eyes or painted intaglio eyes. They also manufactured bisque figurines, including piano babies, beginning in the 1880s, and glazed figurines in the 1900s. 
 In 1843, two brothers, Georg Christoph and Philipp Jakob Heubach, purchased an existing porcelain factory in Lichte, Germany, for the purpose of making household pottery, figurines, and novelties. The brothers were part of a family of ten children, several of whom were also active in the porcelain industry. The factory continued in the family until 1937 when the firm filed for bankruptcy.
It was saved by Otto Friedrich III, Prince of Ysenburg and Büdingen but in 1948 East Germany nationalized it. After the reunification of Germany the factory returned to the estate of Ysenburg and Büdingen. In 1994 it was taken over by former employees.
