An antique "Snowbaby" is auniquecreationwith its two hundred year history influenced by botha search to find the North Poleand enterprising marketing.

In the early 19th century in Germany, "zuckerpuppen" or little sugar dolls were candy toys madefor scenes under the Christmas tree. Later, marzipan makers made tiny figures of white fondant rolled in sugar to look like snowwhich lead to the use of molds to produce 'snowbaby' figures in bisque. The earliest all came from Germany (the HertwigCo.) as the figures grew in popularity in the later 1800's. The spark that caused the snowbaby to blossom was Admiral Perry's exploration to find the North Pole thatcoincided with the birth of the first child, Marie, in 1893. As the news spread, the nickname given by the Eskimos and Greenland natives for Marie was Snowbaby.
