Description :
Pair Of Vintage Granny Bottle Dolls This lot features a set of two vintage Granny Bottle Dolls with plastic heads depicting elderly ladies with styled white hair and metal-rimmed glasses. One wears a black velvet gown trimmed with lace and faux pearls, while the other is dressed in a green floral cotton dress with a crocheted shawl and felt hat. This specific type of retro folk art craft was highly popular between the 1960s and 1980s. Crafters would take empty plastic detergent bottles (like vintage Ivory Liquid or Joy Soap bottles), fill them with sand or pebbles to give them weight so they could stand up firmly, and then build the doll's body around them A pre-formed plastic character head with glasses and gray hair would be attached right over the bottle opening. From there, crafters meticulously handmade their clothing—complete with aprons, lace trims, and shawls—to mask the hidden bottle underneath Both pieces exhibit minor marks on the faces (from the metal glass frames) and light scuffs consistent with their mid-century 1960s origin, yet remain sturdy and display-ready. 13.5"T x 6"W
