As I have noted previously on this blog, I collect antique dolls as well as bathing beauties, especially German and French all-bisque dolls. For me, this tiny twosome is a terrific "two-fer." Just 2 5/8 inches tall, this brother and sister pair are ready for a day of sea and sand in their molded bathing suits. Unmarked, they are of excellent German bisque and quality. These little unjointed dolls are called badekinder (bathing children) in German or, as dubbed by American collectors, frozen Charlottes (the boys are frozen Charlies), a name inspired by the folk ballad of "Fair Charlotte."
