Snow Babies, Santas, and Elves: Collecting Christmas Bisque Figures (Paperback)

Snow babies appeal not only to Christmas enthusiasts, but to
collectors of dolls, figurines, and miniatures. Principally
manufactured in Germany in the early part of this century, these
tiny grouted figures decorated cakes in England and mantel pieces
in the United States. Today they are avidly sought by collectors,
who still use them to create little winter scenes. This carefully
researched and documented book explores the origins of snow babies.
(Were they created to honor Marie Peary, the daughter of Admiral
Peary and the first white baby born in Northern Greenland?) The
collection of 700 color photographs, the largest ever published,
displays exquisite all-white pieces and the smaller action snow
babies. It also introduces the reader to the rare blue and pink
snow pieces. Included are chapters on bisque Santas (over 150 of
them), elves, dwarves, snowmen, buildings, animals, and other
pieces that are collected and displayed with snow babies. A rarity
scale and price guide are included.
