3 VERY SMALL TINY Frozen Charlotte Charlotta Vintage Antique German Bathing China Dolls Over 100 Years Old Altered Art Supplies Porclain Lot B

Description

* You get all 3 Frozen Charlotte dolls AS SHOWN. The three sizes are approximately 1.20", 1 1/8", and 1" (SO TINY!). The largest doll has all four limbs intact!!! Of course they have damages as shown. I'm sure you could clean them up a bit with a toothbrush if desired. I left them a bit aged/gungy for you to decide.
These are small and PERFECT for making jewelry (see sample picture). The smaller Charlottes are MUCH harder to find and they are Ohhh so cute! And go very fast so get yours now!

* Also, to share a neat little art tip - if you want to hide a damaged leg, give them a sweet skirt/dress with a bit of fabric, lace, or paper. SO adorable!

* Excavated from the grounds of an old German doll factory in Thuringia Germany. Buried treasure indeed!

* These were manufactured between 1880 - 1900! They are well over 100 years old.

* Each little doll is unique and beautiful in its flaws. You will get the three dolls shown. These little dolls, each with a personality of their own, will add loveliness and history to any project. They are so special I considered keeping them all to myself! Keep in mind, there are only so many of these out there!

* The story of frozen Charlotte and frozen Charlie: It is said that these dolls were named after an old poem, which the author based on a story read in the newspaper. In the poem, dear Charlotte and Charles set off in a carriage to attend a New Year’s Eve ball. The night was frigid, and Charlotte’s mother begged her to put on a coat. The vain Charlotte refused as she didn’t want to wrinkle her dress. When they arrived to the ball, Charles extended his hand, only to find that she had frozen to death. The mourning Charles soon died of a broken heart.
In Germany, these small porcelain dolls were also baked into Christmas cakes and puddings. The lucky child who found the doll was entitled to a prize!
