Large Antique German Frozen Charlie China Doll, 14 Inches — Blonde Molded Hair
This unusual large antique porcelain baby doll belongs to the collectible Frozen Charlie type—stationary, all-porcelain figures produced primarily in Germany during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The doll stands approximately 14 inches / 35.5 cm tall and weighs about 2.5 pounds / 1.13 kg. Its impressive size and substantial construction give it a particularly strong display presence.
The entire figure is made of glazed porcelain. The doll has a large rounded head, softly modeled facial features, painted gray-blue eyes, delicate brows, a small smiling mouth, and richly blushed cheeks. The blonde molded hair is carefully detailed with individual waves and curls, lending the face a gentle and natural appearance.
The body features unusually detailed anatomical modeling, including a defined chest, rounded abdomen, navel, and carefully sculpted toes. The arms are slightly bent, with the hands formed into small fists and the thumbs individually defined. The subtle asymmetry of the arms gives the figure a particularly lifelike character.
The exact manufacturer has not been identified. Based on its overall type, construction, and modeling style, the doll may be cautiously dated to the late 19th or very early 20th century, approximately 1880–1910.
Condition
The condition of the porcelain and painted details is documented in the photographs. As expected with an antique all-porcelain object, natural manufacturing irregularities, minor variations in the glaze, and age-related signs may be present.
Please review all photographs carefully before purchasing, as they form an important part of the condition description.

Where Every Doll Carries a Story
About the Creator / Gallery
Meet Yana Lamar
I am Yana Lamar, a collector and restorer who turned a late‑found curiosity for dolls into a carefully curated gallery of antique characters.
I seek dolls that carry quiet stories — France, German, Japan, American - bisque girls, shy companions from attics and trunks — and give them a second life with gentle restoration instead of perfection.
In this online boutique you will not find mass‑market pieces, only a small rotating collection chosen for their personality, history, and the feeling they bring into a room.
