Ruth Treffeisen has equipped her Snow Queen with truly royal attributes: The white porcelain has been covered with a rare, iridescent glaze, which gives her skin a frosty shimmer and underlines her steely gray eyes. On her head she has a crown that has been handcrafted in shape and color for her and also served as a sample crown for the famous “Opera Ball of Vienna”. Her dress is a white dream of dupion silk taffeta, wrapped in tulle, and opulently embroidered with small and large Swarowsky stones. Over this the beautiful sovereign is wearing a wide cape of velvet and silk, decorated with a broad originally Venetian lace, interwoven with silver. Her shoes have been made-to-order by a shoemaker. This Snow Queen by Ruth Treffeisen is from head to toe an impressive figure and you will be completely spellbound by her appearance – just as little Kay is…

Her wig is hand-knotted of human hair and so are her eyelashes. Her steely gray glass eyes are thoroughly handcrafted. Her body is stuffed with sheep’s wool and in order to be able to decorate the doll in various positions, it has been equipped with a flexible skeleton inside. The Snow Queen is limited to 7 pieces worldwide, 40.16 in tall and certified. 

Kay is wearing a gray woolen suit with a linen shirt underneath. His hat and scarf are handknitted from real sheep’s wool and coloured with a saffron-yellow natural dye. His wig and eyelashes are knotted from human hair. His genuine leather shoes, woolen socks and glass eyes are thoroughly handcrafted. His body is stuffed with sheep’s wool and in order to be able to decorate the doll in various positions, it has been equipped with a flexible skeleton inside.

Over her checkered winter dress Gerda is wearing a handknitted cardigan of finest wool, made in the traditional Allgäu style with lavish cable patterns and a matching hat.
