This is a pair of cloth dolls that are believed to have been produced in the 1970s and 1980s.They are dressed in traditional costumes from the Appenzell and Bern regions of Switzerland, and their hand-painted plump expressions and details such as the red satin skirt and lace bonnet give them a warm presence even after the passage of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBAITZ moved its base to Bregenz, Austria in 1954 and continued to carefully handcraft dolls until closing its workshop in 1999. The unique manufacturing method has remained unchanged: the body is made of fabric wrapped around a wire core, and the felt hands and machine-sewn costumes are fastened with thin pins. Early versions had faces made of stone powder clay (composition), and later versions had plastic faces, and the glossy features of this item are thought to be a characteristic of the latter period. The female doll has a lace bonnet typical of Appenzell, and the male doll is lovingly embroidered with a cow motif reminiscent of the Bern region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compact size makes it stand out even in limited spaces such as display shelves, mantelpieces, and corners of bookshelves. It would make a great gift for anyone interested in traditional Swiss culture and folk costumes, and would also be an ideal addition to a collection themed around European folk crafts. BAITZ dolls have already been discontinued and there are only a limited number of them in existence, making them increasingly valuable as collector's items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInterior coordination proposal\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e[French style]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen added to a French interior with white plaster walls and antique furniture, it harmonizes with ceramic accessories and dried flowers, creating a warm atmosphere reminiscent of a scene from a picture book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e[Shabby chic style]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen lined up with old tin trunks and used books on a shelf based on dull white or pale gray, you can create a calm and poetic space reminiscent of a corner of the European countryside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout quality and condition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs this is a reused product, there is some signs of use compared to a new product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere may be some color unevenness due to repair marks or aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere may be slight scratches or scuff marks due to use, but this does not affect use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere may be slight differences in color tone between the photo and the actual product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e[About confirmation at physical store]\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can see the actual product at our physical store in Meito Ward, Nagoya City.
