The Vintage Lillian Vernon Nesting Colourful Santas Dolls are a charming set of collectible figurines that range in size from 5 inches to 2 inches, perfect for any holiday or seasonal display. Made by the renowned brand Lillian Vernon in 1988, these nostalgic Santas dolls are sure to add a festive touch to any collection or holiday decor. With their bright and colorful designs, these dolls are a delightful addition for collectors of vintage holiday memorabilia.
Every single doll in this Lillian Vernon set was entirely painted by an artisan using hand-held brushes.
The wood itself is entirely hand-lathed. Each hollow shell had to be spun on a mechanical lathe by a woodworker manually operating chisels. The craftsman would visually gauge the width of each inner layer so they could drop down and stack seamlessly into one another.
