Vintage Handmade Soap Bottle Granny with Glasses Doll. Measures 12" in height. Very good condition.
Bring home a piece of delightful folk art with this Vintage Handmade Soap Bottle Granny Doll. Standing approximately 12 inches in height, this doll is a classic example of "bottle people" crafts that gained popularity in the mid-to-late 20th century as a way to upcycle household detergent containers. This specific figure features a soft-sculpted head with friendly blue eyes, wire-rimmed glasses, and a full head of white hair tucked into a matching bonnet.
The doll is dressed in a vibrant purple and white gingham dress adorned with rows of delicate white lace trim on the apron and sleeves. Her outfit also includes a tiny beaded necklace for an extra touch of "granny chic" charm. These dolls were often used as decorative kitchen accents, shelf sitters, or even weighted doorstops. It makes an excellent gift for collectors of vintage kitsch, fans of cottagecore decor, or anyone who appreciates the ingenuity of mid-century handmade crafts.
This item is vintage, over 40 years old, likely dating back to the 1960s or 1970s. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
