Kokoelmamalleja

Kokoelmamalleja, also known as collection dolls, are small, often handcrafted dolls that are part of a larger collection. These dolls are typically made from various materials such as wood, fabric, or porcelain, and are often designed to be interchangeable with other dolls in the same collection. The concept of collection dolls originated in the late 19th century, with the first known collection doll being the "Bildungsfigur" dolls created by the German dollmaker Carl August Langenhan in 1875. These dolls were designed to be part of a larger educational set, with each doll representing a different stage of life or profession.

Collection dolls have evolved over time, with modern collections often featuring dolls with interchangeable clothing, accessories, and even hair. Some collections may also include accessories such as furniture, vehicles, or animals that are designed to be used with the dolls. The popularity of collection dolls has led to the creation of many different collections, each with its own unique theme or style. Some popular collection doll themes include historical figures, animals, and fantasy creatures. Collection dolls are often enjoyed by collectors for their historical significance, as well as their aesthetic and educational value.
