Early 20th Century Japanese Bisque Dolls, Including Limb Damaged 'Frozen Charlotte'-Type Doll

Two early 20th century Japanese bisque dolls, each showcasing period hand-painted detailing. The first is a “Frozen Charlotte”-style doll standing approximately 3 inches tall, with molded green hair, painted facial features, and remnants of a gold thread or cord around the lower torso. Notably, one arm is detached but present alongside the figure, indicating past play or display damage. The second doll is a smaller bisque figurine, about 2 inches in height, of a girl wearing a yellow hat, pink dress, and blue shoes, holding a yellow item; the reverse is clearly marked “Japan,” confirming its origin. These dolls were typical of Japanese exports in the early 1900s, known for their pocket-sized charm and durability for children’s play. Overall condition shows age-related wear, with the most significant issue being the detached limb on the larger figure. Ideal as collectible examples of Japanese bisque doll production.
