1890s Victorian Porcelain Dolls 'Frozen Charlotte' Japan & Germany, Set of 3
About the Item
Beautiful set of 3 antique porcelain dolls, so called ''Frozen Charlottes'': they originate in Germany, where they would be put into
the pudding (or any sweet festive dish) for girls to find then as little gifts or lucky charms.
The name ''frozen Charlotte'' originates from the tale – or fact –, that young women riding a carriage in their thin dresses
to go to a ball, would almost freeze 'to death', so these dolls were a kind of obscure reminder!
Usually made from bisque porcelain, here the smallest, , wearing a dress (attributed to Japan and one-of-a-kind) is made from partially painted bisque.
The largest and equally rare doll comes in a typical Japanese hairstyle and ist glazed.
The mid sized one is an original from Germany and is a boy, Charlie.
They would usually made in a way they can be taken into the hot tub.
