[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 440213, member: 2844"]Roughly what was said before, Central and Eastern Europe, some Scandinavia, China. The labels are Polish, Cyrillic (Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian), German and Chinese. Cepelia was the name of a state owned chain of Polish craft shops both in Poland and abroad, to promote Polish culture. I don't know if they still exist. The girl with the very wide fuchsia skirt is German. Those used to be sold in German interior decorator shops. If you really want to know which is from which region, it would be useful if the label is shown with the actual doll, since we can't guess which goes with which. And showing them individually or in very small groups. Right now I am faced with a forest of wooden dolls.:D But as I said before, that would mean a lot of effort for very little value. Many of these dolls were little gifts that came with other things. I got a Bulgarian one for good luck when I joined a Bulgarian folk dance group (don't ask;)). Nowadays people attach the small ones to backpacks etc.[/QUOTE]
