Rare 1.75 Antique German Frozen Charlotte Twin China Doll w Bonnet c1850-1870
This unusual miniature porcelain doll features two connected nude figures molded together, standing side by side. Both dolls wear molded bonnets and have delicately hand-painted facial features with blue eyes, rosy cheeks, and red lips. The dolls are made in the traditional solid glazed white porcelain typical of Frozen Charlotte bathing dolls, which were originally used as bath toys that floated in water, as well as small dolls for dollhouses. Examples of conjoined or twin Frozen Charlotte dolls are quite scarce, particularly in this small size. Approximately 1.75 inches tall. Good antique condition for a small porcelain bathing doll of this age. There is light paint wear, kiln speckling, and minor surface wear consistent with age. The figures remain nicely intact and display beautifully. Please review photos for details. A wonderful and unusual mid-19th century German novelty doll and a desirable addition to any Frozen Charlotte, Victorian doll, or miniature doll collection.
