what does Chinadoll mean? doll from China or porcelain doll? the origin or the material?
i never know what it means.
once a lady called me a porcelain doll, is that a compliment or insult? or is she just saying i'm from China since i look chinese?
Porcelain dolls are produced and fired with-out and a shiny glaze which is refereed to a china so the porcelain finish is dull and and lovely more like a human face. The china has a high-gloss glaze finish comes from the early production of dishes from the orient and traded around the world til the rest of the world learned to produce them. So when a doll has the shiny face it is refereed to as a china head or doll. These doll were produced china heads and figures starting in the 1850's in Germany and took the place of the paper mache and wooden toys and dolls.
Her reference meant that your skin color and finish was perfect, and looked like a dolls porcelain finish. porcelain was first produced in Europe for the doll trade. The Oriental dolls were produced in what we call Gofun which is a oyster shell mixture and is so white and fine applied over the wood.China never to my knowledge produced porcelain dolls until World War one and they were made in Japan to replace the German Market production of dolls for America and England. but they never produced china heads.
this is from the big w: Gofun (powdered calcium carbonate that is made from cured oyster , clam or scallop shells) is an important material used in nihonga. ...
It is a complement, many of us have chicken pox marks and other flaws on our faces. Hope this helps be sure to say thank you
