HI EVERYONE, I DUG THIS CERAMIC DOLL, IT'S VERY SMALL AROUND 2 1/2 INCHES IN HEIGHT, APPEARS TO BE A MALE DOLL, ANY INFORMATION AND INPUT WOULD BE APPRECIATED THANKS.
This type of doll is called a Frozen Charlotte. These dolls circa 1850 to about 1920's are generally nude, and range from under an inch to about 18 inches tall. The earlier ones were made in Germany, and much later in Japan. They are made of bisque china, which is generally white to pinkish color. The male dolls were called Frozen Charlies, and are denoted by short hair or no hair. If there is a marking, it will be on their back or the nape of their neck. Breezie

nice id breezie! it surely looks like something to keep.
We've sold lots of these in our shop, and they clean up nicely useing a toothbrush and some Comet or the likes. To put a little gloss on them, you can use Baby Oil after cleaning. Breezie

I would think this is alluding to the frozen and stiff features, or white colour.
Or am I missing something?
Hey Rando . .how goes it Shugar? They are called frozen because there legs and arms are stationary, not jointed. The doll is in one solid piece. . . .tough life not being able to move; lol Breezie

The value of the Frozen C's depends on several factors, but the #1 is: It cannot be cracked, chipped or repaired. We use a long bulb 'black light' (back to the dazzze of Jimi Hendrix) to determine cracks & repairs in china. Frozen C's were inexpensively made dolls, basically the cheapo's of the era. They were easily molded and sparingly painted. The most common were girls, then boys, with the most rare being Black. Sight unseen, I'd say your Frozen Charlie, if unbroken would sale for about $15.-$18.-$20.00 range and judging by the face, it looks German made. Breezie

I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines. I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.
