Christmas Carol Doll 7pc./8"

Scrooge, Marley’s ghost, and the three Spirits of Christmas come to life on this most original nesting doll. "A Christmas Carol", one of the most compelling stories of all time unfolds as one opens up the dolls: the transformation of Scrooge from miser to good man happens all in one night! The joy and mirth of the holiday is found at the Bob Cratchet house, where Scrooge delivers a prize turkey, and Tiny Tim experiences a Christmas miracle. Relive the miracle yourself with this inspired doll—signed and numbered in a special limited edition of 2500 sets!

Production Techniques: Hand Painting. This doll was carved in the Upper Volga region, and then delivered to the Golden Cockerel workshop in St. Petersburg, Russia. Our artists painstakingly hand paint every detail, beginning with backgrounds and moving to the finer elements that require a brush of very select Siberian squirrel hair. It is daunting to think of the time and talent invested in each of the nesting pieces! Finally we baptize each doll in multiple layers of non-toxic water-based lacquer to make a marvelous matryoshka that will delight children and collectors. The bottom of the largest doll gets stamped with Golden Cockerel’s “Made in Russia” mark of quality, initialed by the artist, and dated like a true collectible. We can only hope you will give it a good home.
