Antique China Frozen Charlotte Bathing Doll with White Costume

This 4 ¾ inch tall china doll has molded and painted facial features and black hair. She would have been manufactured in Germany during the second half of the 19th century and is in excellent condition with no cracks or repairs. This Frozen Charlotte is impressed on her back, “Germany//4.” I love her white cotton batiste costume that is handmade specifically for this doll and is completely hand sewn. She is a lovely heavy doll with no chips, cracks, or repairs. These little dolls were called bathing dolls as Victorian children played with them in the bath or at the beach.
