Mini Story or Hook

A wonderfully quirky vintage Christmas troll from Russ Berrie, dressed for the festive season as Mrs Claus.

With her unmistakable oversized troll eyes, mischievous smile and spectacular shock of white hair, she wears a red dress, white apron decorated with holly and berries, and a matching bonnet with lace trim.

Russ Berrie trolls have developed a nostalgic following among collectors of vintage troll dolls and 1980s–1990s toys, while the Christmas-themed examples make particularly fun seasonal display pieces.

A great piece of retro Christmas nostalgia — just unusual enough to become the talking point of the Christmas decorations.

This is a genuine vintage Russ Christmas troll showing expected signs of age and previous display.

* Original Russ markings remain visible to the underside.

* Original Christmas outfit appears substantially complete.

* Some age-related wear, marks and discolouration are present to the fabric.

* Lace trim to the bonnet shows age and wear.

* White synthetic hair remains wonderfully full but is somewhat wild and untidy, as expected with an older troll.
