We love this particular little bisque figure. S/he is all covered up in wither clothing and is carrying a bag or satchel.
We think that these little dolls were created originally for setting up miniature scenes for railroads or Lilliput villages, but we are really not sure. Some of them have an original metal pick in the bottom - probably for positioning in your diorama or display. We prefer them without the picks and most stand on their own. But we've not changed any of them.
Each figurine was hand painted and the paint shows some wear. We're showing 3 samples so that you might see the differences. We love the true patina that only real time offers such pieces.
Each cold one measures about 1-1/2 inch tall by just over 1/2 inch wide and not quite 1/2 inch from front to back. When there are stems, they vary in length, most being about 1 inch.
These are lightweight, making them perfect for even altered art jewelry projects.
We expect that these are from the 1920s through 1940s, but we've not been able to find a date on any of them. Some are marked with their country of origin, Japan.
These have been dusted off, but the metal, if any, is rusty, so please be careful. We never clean any vintage or antique items completely so as to not ruin the value.
We've never seen anything like these before, so we are quite delighted to offer them to you. We're show you several in our photograph so that you might see the variation and the front and back. Please let us choose one for you.

Tiny Vintage Hand-Painted Bisque Sitting Figurine
We think that these little fellows were created originally for setting up miniature scenes for railroads or Lilliput villages, but we are really not sure. Some of them have an original metal pick in the bottom - probably for positioning in your diorama or display. We prefer them without the picks and most stand on their own. But we've not changed any of them.
Each of these fellows is sitting on a log and we cannot really interpret their activities. It appears that some might be cowboys (their hats suggest such) and others might be musicians, perhaps even playing the bagpipes. It is difficult to see the detail in the log, but it is quite nice for something so tiny and old.
Each figurine was hand painted and the paint shows some wear. We're showing 2 samples so that you might see the differences. We love the true patina that only real time offers such pieces.
Each piper measures about 1-1/4 inch high by 1/2 inch wide and about 3/8 inch from front to back. When there are stems, they vary in length, most being a bit over 1 inch.

Mini Vintage Broken Frozen Bisque Frozen Charlotte Doll
Larger Frozen Charlottes
Each of these tremendous little dolls is more interesting than the next. We had a hard time working once these arrived. We had to examine each and every one of them. They are called Frozen Charlotte Dolls or Frozen Charlotta Dolls. They were made in Germany years ago.
They appear to have have been manufactured as far back as the early 1850s. Their history is quite intriguing, as is their allure. Some are bisque, but most are made of glazed porcelain. They were known in Germany as Bathing Children (Badekinder) or Naked Babies (Nackfrosh).
Charlottes were named after a young Victorian girl who went out dancing with her beau. Against Mother's advice, she left without her coat and froze in the snow. This is the story of an old folksong called Fair Charlotte often attributed to William Lorenzo Carter.
The dolls were made from the 1850s through the early 20th century and sold for about a penny each in the United States. Children would dress them and were able to collect a few because of the nice price. In fact they were often called penny dolls.
Ours have been dug up in Germany near the original factories. These tiny dolls are almost perfect, but have a bit of damage, but not much. We have not cleaned them, so you can enjoy discovering the unique beauty of your own doll. Just use a mild soap gently with water.
If whole, these lovelies might sell for $125 to $300 each. These tiny ones measure from just under 1-1/4 inch to just under 1-1/2 inch high and each shows different breaks
Several of the dolls are in our illustration, but we do have more than the pictured ones.

We are so in love with these figurines that we almost didn't sell them. We think they were created originally for setting up miniature scenes for railroads or Lilliput villages, but we are really not sure. Some of them have an original metal pick in the bottom - probably for positioning in your diorama or display. We prefer them without, but we've not changed any of them.
Each figurine was hand painted and the paint shows some wear. We're showing 4 samples so that you might see the differences. We love the true patina that only real time offers such pieces. The first young lady is pictured from the back so that you might see that the painting is complete all around each figure.
Each Cinderella (alas, before she found her prince) wears an apron and holds a broom to sweep the floor. She measures 1-1/4 inch high by about 5/8 inch wide (at the bottom of her skirt with the broom base) and about 1/4 inch from front to back. When there are stems, they vary in length, most being about 1 inch.

Schrödinger's Cat Finger Puppet Magnet
More Cats
More Magnets
Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger proposed this thought experiment to demonstrate the apparent conflict between what quantum theory predicts on the microscopic level and what we observe on the macroscopic level: A cat is shut in a box with a 'diabolical device' that kills it or not, depending on whether a radioactive substance emits a particle in a given time triggering the device. After that time that cat is alive or dead. Therefore, the cat is both alive and dead simultaneously - a superposition of states.
It's important to know that this was a thought experiment and that it was never really performed - at least by Schrodinger and his colleagues, Einstein, Podlosky and Rosen.
Whether or not the quantum question appeals to you, this little kitty puppet with his tongue hanging out, might just be the fun experiment you need for an evening!

We just couldn't stop smiling when we saw this vintage old stock baby doll - it's like a cartoon baby! Made from molded plastic, it features hand-painted hair facial features including large expressive eyes! Made of flexible plastic, we expect that these hail from the 1970s. Some of the faces are a bit out of shape when sitting on their own, but they are easily re-shaped.
There is an open back so you can change this into a doll mask if you like. Or use it to decorate cupcakes and the like. We have not cleaned these, as we never do more than dust vintage items, so as to not ruin the value or collectability. So if you decide to use them with food, be sure to wash them first.

These little scissors really work! They cut through paper nicely. So, when your little doll decides to cut paper snowflakes, s/he'll have just the right tool!
Measuring just 1-1/4 inch long, you might use these as a part of an assemblage necklace or a charm bracelet! There is a tiny notch on the thumb side of the handle that will hold the scissors together until gently pulled apart. We suspect the silvery metal to be aluminum as the scissors don't respond to magnets.

Vintage Frozen Charlotta Doll
Scooping the last of the mud from the old carpenter's box, the archeologist felt a small ball of rough fabric. Carefully, he unrolled the wet black wool sock. In his fingers lay a tiny child-like figure made entirely of porcelain, absolutely perfect! For over 132 years, she had remained tucked in a corner surrounded by saws, mallets and chisels, waiting to be discovered! Only 2-1/2 inches tall, this Frozen Charlotte was pure white with black eyes and a bonnet painted upon her head - a remarkable treasure from the Great White Arabia. Perhaps the doll was a keepsake, a travelling companion for the long trip west, or a cherished memento from a loved one left far behind.
This little doll was reproduced for the Museum of the Steamboat Arabia - molded from an actual doll found in the steamboat's wreckage!
Frozen Charlottes (aka Frozen Charlottas) are small molded dolls that were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries and were so named for a favorite American legend. Lovely Charlotte, anxiously anticipating the New Year's Eve Ball, settled into the open sleigh of her beloved Charlie. She refused her mother's offer of a woolen blanket for warmth, claiming it would wrinkle her gown. Gliding for miles across the snow under the starlit sky, the couple finally arrived at the ball - Charlie with an icy brow and Charlotte as a frozen corpse. Parents often used the story and the dolls to remind children of what can happen to those how disobey their parents.
In 1988, the Arabia, an 1850s steam powered paddlewheel boat, was rediscovered, with much of her precious cargo intact. By 1856, the Arabia was carrying passengers and cargo on the Missouri River, leaving St Louis every other week. Reroute to the frontier on September 5, 1856, a submerged walnut tree pierced the Arabia's hull, sinking her and 220 tons of precious cargo. Over time, the river changed course, leaving the steamer and her freight buried deep beneath a Kansas farm field. Today, thanks to remarkable excavation, conservation and perfection, artifacts from the Arabia bring the 1856 frontier to life.

Born on August 6, 1928, Andy Warhol died on February 22, 1987. Pop artist, filmmaker, writer, socialite and entrepreneur, Warhol's paintings of Campbell Soup cans and celebrities are some of the most famous images of the 1960s. Critics were scandalized by Warhol's open embrace of market culture, but Warhol didn't care, gladly attracting the limelight. In fact, some critics believe that if it were not for his visibility as a celebrity magnet, his artwork would not be as famous. We don't care - we love it either way!
Well, the great Pop Artist himself is now a finger puppet! We LOVE the shiny red jacket that matches his red glasses! He would be so proud. On your finger, he's a puppet; on your fridge, he's a magnet! Why not keep him on your workbench or table as inspiration - what a muse he might make!

Diego Rivera & Frida Kahlo Finger Puppet Set (aka Magnets)
More Frida
The passionate, yet tumultuous marriage between Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera is legendary. Theirs was one of the most famous alliances between artists. His straying eye led Frida to take many lovers, male and female, including revolutionary Leon Trotsky.
Diego Rivera was among the greatest of the Mexican muralists that flourished after the country's revolution. Influenced by Cubism as well as pre-Columbian wall paintings, Rivera's works are characterized by his fervent belief in Marxism.
A Mexican painter deeply influenced by indigenous culture, Frida Kahlo suffered a series of physical traumas. She contracted polio at age 6, and at 19 sustained injuries in a bus accident from which she was plagued by extreme pain for the rest of her life. Drawing on her personal life, Kahlo's work is characterized by its stark portrayal of pain
Now you can create your own tumult on your fridge with these two great little magnets. Release your inner ethno-surrealist with Frida and paint a tiny leftist mural with Diego. Or, just enjoy knowing that they are together again, right in your own home!

Made of pink plastic with a plastic foil real mirror, you'll love these for kitschy charm bracelets, as doll accessories and they're perfect in shrines as well.
Every one of these is in unused, mint condition and measures 1-1/16 inch long by 13/16 at the widest.
We're showing two charms so that you might see the front and back.

Vintage Brown Hand Blown Glass Doll eye with Stem
More Parts for Dolls
More Assemblage & Collage Elements
Vintage porcelain dolls from Germany would always have hand-blown glass eyes like these - so beautiful that they almost look real! Ours all measure about 5/8 inch from stem to the front of the eye and the eyeball itself measures about 1/2 inch in diameter.
The eyes' iris coloring is exquisite - unmatched by the eyes produced today. These hail from the mid-20th century or earlier.
Of course these can be used for their original purpose - creating dolls, or, indeed, for repairing them. But, we also love odd things like these added to assemblages, memory boxes, nichos and ofrendas! What fun!
We are showing 2 eyes for illustration. Each package contains one eye only.

Vintage Lenticular "Winky" Smile - Frown
More Lenticulars
We've always enjoyed lenticular (winky, blinky, flicker) images - especially the vintage ones. We were just so very excited when we found these vintage Vari-Vue lenticular smile that, with lenticular movement, changes from a smile to a frown and back again!
Use them for your art dolls to ad a kitschy flavor to them. Or just collect them like we do! Lenticular images like these (3d composition screens) were made a bit differently during the mid part of the 20th century - providing what we think is a much better 3D image.
The colors of the printed image are amazingly vibrant considering that these winky lips are almost a half-century old!
The moving mouth piece measures 2-1/2 inches across by 7/8 inches high.

Articulated Wooden Cat Mannequin
More Action Figures, Art Dolls & Such
Our articulated wooden cat mannequin will help student artists with feline drawings. But, we think she makes a handsome addition to any cat-lover's collection. She can be posed in oh, so many ways - she can look different every day on your desk or bookshelf. These are made as models for artists, so there may be some imperfections.
The kitty, including the base measures 5 inches and from head to tail, 5 inches. Of course you can reposition this feline and the measurements will change slightly.

Plush Frida Kahlo Doll
For inspiration or for decoration, you'll love our plush Frida Kahlo doll. Clad in traditional Mexican clothing as was Frida's preference, our little doll will surely make you smile. If she were standing, she would measure about 11 inches high. But, just as the famed woman she models, she sits most of the time.

Hand Made Oxidized Brass or Bronze Hand Charm
We were only able to get a limited number of these as they were hand made by the artist - and then we lost track of the artist! We love the look because it appears as though the charm was originally made thousands of years ago and found in a treasure trove.
Measuring 7/8 long including the hanging loop - which runs from left to right at the top and 7/16 inch wide at the widest part of the fingers, this is quite a special charm.
We are showing two charms so that you might see the detail in the top of the hand as well as in the palm.

AMAZING Vintage Duck Doll Face
More Ducks & Geese
This guy won a Donald Duck look-a-like contest in the early 1950s - or so he tell us. We can't be sure. But we are sure that he's been around that long. Doesn't he look like a 1950s kid's costume mask?
Hollow on the back and highly stylized, we've realized that his expression is just too happy for him to be The Donald.
He measures about 3-1/8 inches long by 2-1/8 inches wide and 1-1/2 inch from his beak to the back of his head.
He's made of an odd kind of plastic, that just might have some paper mixed in. His eyes, and mouth - er...beak - have been hand painted.

Vintage Molded or Pressed Fabric Monkey Face
Our vintage, old store stock Monkey face has never been used. Made of pressed or molded fabric (just like our vintage masks), each is in superb condition. We're guessing these are from the 1950s or 1960s, but they certainly could be earlier than that.
The flesh colored fabric features wonderfully hand-painted details - completed with care and precision - but different enough from one to the next, that each one is subtly unique!
Each head measures 2-3/4 inches wide by 3-1/4 inch long (from tip of head to neck). The condition is excellent with the slightest touch of dustiness to the very outside rim.
Not only would the fellow's face be great as a doll head, but consider making it a mask for another doll!
Probably Made in USA
