Our Story

Three women, three creative souls representing over a half century of working in porcelain.

Jan Doehring was an extraordinary artist known for her skills in doll making, painting, sewing and designing porcelain dolls. For many years her paintings were exhibited and sold in New Orleans. In the mid-1970's she began to study the art of antique porcelain doll reproductions, thereby beginning her lifelong mastery of doll making. Her dolls were used in many commercials. Perfume maker Estee Lauder shot a complete series of commercials featuring a model standing amid Jan's dolls and holding one in her arms. Each of her dolls was dressed in a hand-crafted ensemble, which was designed and sewn by Jan. Jan's dolls were also featured at Boyer's, an exclusive Doll Shop in the French Quarter.
