WITCH Hand Puppet retailer by Curt Meissner ~ 1960s

retailer Germany is recognized worldwide as home to one of the most creative toy-making industries in Europe. It is not a surprise that puppetry is also very strong and has been part of their vibrant culture for hundreds of years. The brand iKünstlerpuppe (Artistic Dolls) is a great example of this elaborate style of early hand puppets once produced in the German Democratic Republic (GDR).

This Witch hand puppet was created in the Curt Meißner workshop circa 1960s and is meticulously handcrafted from felt and fabric. Her amazing lifelike facial expression is achieved by skillful stitching, embroidery and hand painting. A true labour of love that makes no puppet look alike! Her unique appearance with vivid colors and extended nose is quite eye-catching. Don't wait to add her to your vintage puppet collection!
