I want to go back to the history of the ARI dolls company again. The interest of these cute ARI dolls does not pass with time.

Let’s have a look at the photos from the catalogs that the company produced. But first I would like to show new photos of my dolls.

The company produced a lot of dolls from different materials and the collections include not only well-known rubber dolls.

A lot of dolls made of spiky plastic and the oldest of ceramics. In molds of these ancient dolls in our time very successfully produce replicas. Modern materials allow new life and history to the most popular dolls.

In this small photo with ARI catalogs, despite the poor quality, you can see how varied the range was then. On one of the avenues, you can read a large inscription “ARI. Advertising ceramics”.

It can be stated unequivocally that the production of ceramic dolls took place earlier than 1946, as the author at that time was already in the Western Zone (but this is the subject for a separate conversation concerning two well-known companies producing dolls at once). On two photo postcards can see ARI ceramic dolls in sets (“beach” and “kitchen”).

Some dolls are rarely found in puppet collections. Perhaps you have them and it would be interesting to learn from you.

Three plastic dolls (model 1011) – such are found with baby legs, mine – with straight legs. There is a triangular mark on the back and the inscription GERMANY 1011. Height 9cm.
I have this doll in my collection.

Another cute creature, 11cm. The doll is made of rubber, the head and body – hollow, the head number 3418, the body – 3388 (under the triangle mark).

I tried to correct the known pages of the ARI dolls catalog a little. Look at the dolls’ images and information. Perhaps you will find exactly your doll in the images.

I like all my ARI dolls, but the smallest rubber dolls do not leave me indifferent.

Without a doubt, the most popular is 7 cm tall rubber dolls.

You can read the beginning of the history of ARI dolls creation in this article.

Ari dolls, history and a second youth.

I continue to test the yarn “Nirvana”. For a new knitted dress for American girl mini Julia, I chose shades of green and light beige color. The dress was conceived as an outfit for Julia to autumn period, with long sleeves and floral patterns. For flowers, I chose a dark shade of dusty rose. For the petals of pale green edging and part of the ornament of the marsh shade. I came up with to complement the knitted dress a small headband with flowers and decorate them with the hair of my doll.

Yarn to create the pattern for the ornament I found on Pinterest.

I start to work.
After I knitted a dress, you should choose the suitable color of buttons. I chose buttons in tonal colors on the ornament.

The dress looks very soft and warm for fall and winter. And ornament for the hair, too, was great.

In my collection, there are a few dolls of suitable size. This knitting dress is perfect for a 6-inch lati Yellow Doll. Then I remembered my fascination with wire. And on light, there is such a basket of flowers. After some time my project is finished.
