Charming small 4.75-inch antique Frozen Charlie boy doll with hand-painted features and molded blonde hair. He wears molded and painted blue-and-red striped shorts accented with a gilded bow at the waist. This is a classic German all-bisque figure, circa late 1800s–early 1900s.
Face paint is very sweet, with rosy cheeks, painted brows, and painted lips. Arms and legs are molded and unjointed, as expected for Frozen Charlotte/Charlie dolls.
Please note the wear to the hair paint, some surface patina on the back, and small firing dots typical of antique German bisque. The gold bow retains much of its original gilding. See photos for details.
A wonderful addition to any Frozen Charlotte/Frozen Charlie collection.
