When did winter become a problem?<br />
When did winter become more about the<br />
shoveling <strong>of</strong> driveways and weariness <strong>of</strong><br />
ice than about the sledding down a hill<br />
and wariness <strong>of</strong> burning our tongues on<br />
hot chocolate? The days <strong>of</strong> snow being<br />
thought <strong>of</strong> as the world’s greatest toys may<br />
be behind you, but recapturing some <strong>of</strong><br />
the magic <strong>of</strong> winter is well within reach.<br />
In fact, you’re holding it in your hand.<br />
Dollmasters is here to help you enjoy the<br />
winter season. Enjoy the weather. Enjoy<br />
the holidays. Enjoy yourself. Dollmasters.<br />

Wee Forest Folks<br />
Dollmasters is delighted<br />
to introduce a family <strong>of</strong><br />
fanciful miniature mice,<br />
handcrafted in the USA by<br />
the Petersen family since<br />
1972. Annette Petersen<br />
crafted her first little<br />
mouse nearly four decades<br />
ago, and today is joined in the wee mouse<br />
world by Annette, Willy and Donna, the next<br />
generation <strong>of</strong> Petersens. They describe their<br />
creative process this way. "We make the mold,<br />
cast it, and a little mouse begins to emerge.<br />
Meticulous hand-painting and an enormous<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> patience and time brings each<br />
sculpture to life". All <strong>of</strong> the Wee Forest Folks<br />
are hand-crafted entirely in the small town <strong>of</strong><br />
Carlisle in eastern Massachusetts.<br />
M i S S no e l<br />
Whether she wears a red winter coat or a green one, Miss<br />
Noel will make you feel as cozy and warm in your home as<br />
her hands are in her tiny fur muff.<br />

The renowned Russian artist Natalya Petrova<br />
has designed Grandfather Frost and St. Nicholas<br />
Winter Wonderland, the most precious handcarved<br />
St. Nicholas figures that Dollmasters have<br />
ever <strong>of</strong>fered; or should we say "semi-precious"?<br />
For Petrova has not only elaborately hand-carved<br />
and hand-painted these grand gentlemen, she has<br />
festooned them with a veritable treasure chest <strong>of</strong><br />
magnificent semi-precious stones. Accentuating<br />
the semiprecious stones is a multi-layered<br />
painting technique (featuring authentic gold leaf<br />
and sterling silver accessories) so elaborate and<br />
detailed it requires a special magnifying glass to<br />
accomplish.<br />

From across the vast Pacific ocean, Dollmasters<br />
presents a series <strong>of</strong> traditional wooden Japanese play<br />
dolls known as Kokeshi. The kokeshi doll tradition<br />
is centuries-old in Japan. The carved wooden<br />
dolls seem initially simplistic in design, but closer<br />
examination reveals incredibly detailed carving<br />
such as hair accents and ruffles in clothing. Most<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Kokeshi dolls are produced from Japanese<br />
dogwood trees, well known for their white bark and<br />
fine grain. All carving and painting is hand-done by<br />
experienced artisans.<br />

Amy Goodrich <strong>of</strong> Ireland doesn’t like to think <strong>of</strong><br />
herself as a teddy bear creator so much as just an<br />
artist, and with teddy bears like these you can see<br />
why. In her own words, she states that each bear "is<br />
treated like a painting, although three-dimensional<br />
mohair is the medium". Each <strong>of</strong> her teddy bears,<br />
which are all one-<strong>of</strong>-a-kind, sports not only a<br />
different aesthetic but <strong>of</strong>ten an entirely different<br />
method <strong>of</strong> adornment highlighted by scenes that<br />
are hand-painted by the artist.<br />

The Brownie Band<br />
Utilizing the Scottish highland folktales <strong>of</strong> his<br />
maternal ancestry, a then unknown Canadian<br />
artist named Palmer Cox created a group <strong>of</strong><br />
playful sprites known as the Brownies and he<br />
introduced them to the world in February <strong>of</strong><br />
1883 in a children’s periodical, St. Nicholas<br />
Magazine. Like the greats, Rose O’Neill and<br />
Johnny Gruelle, Palmer Cox filled his world<br />
with a wide array <strong>of</strong> fanciful characters, and<br />
like those greats, Palmer Cox now finds his<br />
works immortalized by the contemporary<br />
great R John Wright.<br />
Each Brownie is an entirely hand-made<br />
wool-felt doll from R John Wright and each<br />
is specially designed with heavy-wire feet<br />
to stand unaided. Each is a numbered<br />
limited edition <strong>of</strong> just 250 and comes in a<br />
fanciful presentation box with a certificate <strong>of</strong><br />

Debbee Thibault — A Dollmasters Tradition.<br />
The artist has a simple credo, "Each <strong>of</strong> my characters start from the stories I make up about them", which<br />
helps explain their fable-like quality. Made entirely by hand in her California studio, each bears the true mark<br />
<strong>of</strong> individuality. Created <strong>of</strong> a unique paper-mache that exactly captures the look <strong>of</strong> 19th century folk art dolls,<br />
and decorated with quirky yet artful touches, it's no wonder that Debbee Thibault has become a standard in<br />
Dollmasters catalogs as well as collector's homes. Each is signed, numbered and dated.<br />

During the mid/late 19th century, French artisans created superb miniature accessories, costumed doll<br />
arrangements and miniature settings that were <strong>of</strong>fered in exclusive small boutiques and in the lavish Parisian<br />
Etrennes catalogs <strong>of</strong> luxury department stores. Today, a talented French artist has restored a selection <strong>of</strong><br />
these extremely-rare luxury objects for us, mostly made with the original antique pieces, dolls, fabrics, boxes,<br />
and other materials. They are available in very limited number – some only one, few more than half a dozen<br />
– so we advise that you do not tarry in choosing your favorites.<br />

miniature bonnets <strong>of</strong> straw, pressed felt and silk, adorned with<br />
tiny silk flowers, feathers, and ribbons. There are card-board<br />
bonnet boxes with labels, wooden hat stands, and French-labeled<br />
drawers filled with wonderful tiny supplies for making still more bonnets. In the center <strong>of</strong> it all stands an<br />
antique bisque lady with silk gown. Opened, the shop is 27"w. x 12"h. x 2"d. Closed, 13"w. x 8 ½". Only one.<br />

We've seen plenty <strong>of</strong> bears that could benefit from a good<br />
corset, and evidently the Paris corset shop, Buscs a l'Ours,<br />
thought so, too. Because about 1920 Buscs a l'Ours introduced<br />
an eye-catching promotional poster featuring over 35 bears<br />
busily trying on corsets in their showroom. The poster was so<br />
popular that it was <strong>of</strong>fered as a premium by the store for several<br />
decades. Dollmasters has found a small cache <strong>of</strong> the firm-back<br />
mounted poster edition printed in the 1950's. 22". OS-142.<br />

his unusual facial features and eye movements.<br />
Although production <strong>of</strong> the bear ended nearly<br />
70 years ago, a small stock <strong>of</strong> assembly parts for<br />
the bear remained. Recently, that stock has been<br />
uncovered and Peter Bears have been assembled<br />
just for Dollmasters. Though the mohair is<br />
today’s, every other single part <strong>of</strong> Peter Bear,<br />
including his unusual paper mache armature and<br />
flirty glass eyes, are the authentic originals. 15"H.<br />

June Ellen Lane <strong>of</strong> Lake Arrowhead,<br />
California lived in a house at the top <strong>of</strong><br />
a long and winding hill. Her remarkable<br />
doll collection peopled every room in the<br />
house in cabinets and scenes that were<br />
the delight <strong>of</strong> every visiting collector<br />
who made the trip to visit her. Although<br />
her collection spanned every category<br />
including very rare automata and French<br />
bébés, her special love and focus were<br />
lady dolls, including the rarest <strong>of</strong> French<br />
poupées, the finest early English wooden,<br />
and superb German paper maches. The<br />
extensive collection was sold in a two-day<br />
auction, as<br />
was her wish.<br />

antique doll houses and doll<br />
rooms <strong>of</strong> Hanne Buktas <strong>of</strong><br />
Vienna, Austria, gathered,<br />
furnished and peopled over a 30<br />
year span. "The extraordinary<br />
objects in these rooms, and<br />
how lovingly they are presented<br />
is a testament to one woman’s<br />
vision <strong>of</strong> a perfect past", says<br />
Florence Theriault, who edited<br />
the book. The little toys left<br />
lying the floor, mother leaning<br />
over a cradle, a wall filled with<br />
paintings, the dog at master’s<br />
side – these are all touches that<br />
make us certain we have lived<br />

about these homes many times<br />

Living on the outskirts <strong>of</strong> Moscow, Alya Dmitrakova, a graduate <strong>of</strong> the Russian College <strong>of</strong> Applied Arts,<br />
has earned herself international renown as one <strong>of</strong> the foremost European St. Nicholas artists. Meticulously<br />
carved from the driest base wood, each Santa is highlighted with detailed etching using a special burning<br />
process Dmitrakova herself invented, and then further adorned by painting so detailed it requires special<br />
magnifying glasses to perform. With that level <strong>of</strong> detail, each St. Nicholas is a truly unique piece inspired by<br />
the artist’s whim. Each is signed on the base by the artist.<br />
