Department 56 Snowbabies Raggedy Ann Spinning A Yarn Figurine Appraisal

Department 56 Snowbabies Raggedy Ann 'Spinning A Yarn' Figurine

This collectible figurine features a Snowbaby alongside the iconic literary character Raggedy Ann. The piece is constructed from cold-cast porcelain with a textured, bisque finish characteristic of the Department 56 Snowbabies line. Measuring approximately 4 to 5 inches in height, the figurine shows Raggedy Ann with her signature red yarn hair, white apron over a cream dress, and red shoes, holding a ball of red yarn. The Snowbaby is depicted in their classic hooded snowsuit with a 'sparkle' texture, assisting Raggedy Ann with a loop of red string. The duo is mounted on a cloud-like white base. This specific item is part of the 'Guest Collection,' likely produced in the late 1990s or early 2000s under license from Simon & Schuster (Raggedy Ann). The craftsmanship is consistent with high-quality porcelain collectibles, featuring hand-painted details on the facial features and clothing. The condition appears fair to good; however, there is visible dust accumulation in the textures of the Snowbaby's suit and the yarn itself, which is a common issue with these porous materials. No major chips or structural repairs are immediately visible in the image, though the red string shows slight fraying commensurate with age.
