Classic Snowbabiesĭepartment 56’s classic Snowbabies collection includes all Snowbabies that aren’t part of any other special collections, such as standard figurines, music boxes and water globes. Currently, these increasingly difficult to find items each cost between $50 and $100 depending on their pose. In a catalog dated to 1914, Snowbabies were referred to as “Alaska Tots.” Back then, these lovely one-and-three-quarter inch figures were valued at 90 cents a dozen. Hertwig and Company were the original manufacturers, but soon after, other porcelain factories in Germany started producing similar figurines. Their design was based off of sugar dolls used in the early nineteenth century as Christmas decorations. The First Snow Baby FigurinesĪccording to Carouselgifts, German confectioner Johann Moll created the predecessors to today’s Snowbabies in the 1890s as reusable cake toppers.
Snowbaby collectors have been around since day one, making retirement of unique and rare designs that much more significant to serious collectors. Department 56, a collectible company headquartered in Minnesota, released the first batch of Snowbabies in 1986.
