Vintage Christmas Cotton Batting 4" CHILD on SLED Japan

Collectibles : Holiday, Seasonal

 

So cute and petite in scale, this 4 child is all dressed in cotton batting and riding on a sled. He, or she, measures 2.5 tall by 1.5 wide, on a sled 3.25 long. The child is in excellent all-original condition with a hand-painted papier-mache mask face with blue eyes and a smile. Snowsuit shows only slight darkening from age, which just adds to the charm of this vintage decoration! The sled is folded cardboard painted white and dusted with glitter for the effect of snow ice. Black cotton wool forms the boots, and chenille forms the 'mittens' and red tie at the chin. Green foil leaves with chenille 'berries' decorate the left side over a red-bordered Merry Christmas sign. Stamped "Japan" on the bottom.
