Description: Frozen Charlottes were made in the mid to late 1800's so they are all over 100 years old. (read story below) You will get ONE charlotte, they all have at least one leg THIS LISTING IS FOR ONE RANDOM TINY FROZEN CHARLOTTE DOLL- PHOTOS ARE AN EXAMPLE OF ONE YOU WILL GET! Sorry, but I cannot fulfil any special request, as they are random *****NOTE****** Frozen Charlottes are getting harder and harder to find. I work with excavators in Germany, and all of my charlottes are original and authentic- According to my last communication with them- there are hardly any charlottes left and the prices are increasing as they are becoming rare and hard to find. As of today's news, I cannot get any more this year. FROZEN CHARLOTTES EXCAVATED FROM Lauscha Germany Manufactured as early as 1850, these intriguing bisque/china/porcelain dolls were originally produced as Victorian Bathing Dolls, called Frozen Charlotte; so named from a song about a Victorian-era girl who went out dancing with her beau to a ball at a nearby inn. She left without her wrap against her mother's wishes and froze in the snow. As the story goes, on a piercingly cold, winter night, Charlotte's beau, Charles, picked Charlotte up in his sleigh to attend a ball at the village inn, 15 miles away. Looking lovely, young Charlotte, dressed in her finery, vainly wanted to be seen and admired along the way. She did not listen to her mother's good advice to cover herself with a blanket, refusing even to wear her wrap. When she and Charles arrived at the inn, Charlotte was a frozen corpse! The song goes on to say that Charlie soon died of a broken heart and they forever slumber together, in one tomb. Most of these charming dolls were manufactured by numerous factories in Germany from 1850 to the early 1900s although few bear any identifying marks. With the onset of WW1 and subsequently WW2 most of the factories were abandoned or destroyed- so these little dolls lay buried in the dirt in the large manufacturing centers and they are dug up by “excavators”. These Charlottes come from the Lauscha area in Germany. please see all photos
