It seems that the Witches of Pendle coven is in need of supplies, and Althea – the flying witch doll- was sent to fetch some (that’s her speciality – shopping!). Whatever she brings in the three pouches must be of a mysterious nature! As the pouches are made of see through fabric and decorated with black feathers, we can safely assume that they contain herbs with a hint of potpourri!.
Regardless what the errand is for, the witch Rowena is all dressed up for it. Her dress is marvellous in detail: the top skirt is made of black hemp, the bottom skirt is made in black gauze decorated with a black satin border, and the underskirt in black linen (same as the sleeves) with black lace border. As the high winds make her dress to flutter, she is showing off her frilly white cotton underpants and also a bit of leg, all dressed in black linen tights! Porcelain shoes and pointy satin black hat match (of course!) with a final touch of black feathers on the hat. To keep warm, she is wearing a black granny type knitted shawl.
Like any respectable witch, Althea spent some time on make up, to enhance those so traditional ‘witchy’ features so highly detailed in porcelain – everything is there: pointy nose, purple lips, bicycle glasses and even a beaded earring.
And let’s not forget the authentic broomstick!
All in all, a beautiful porcelain creation, from out Witches of Pendle range, of high detail recommended for the collector and enthusiast alike. Collectables are not just for Halloween, but for every season in between!
Althea, the flying witch doll, measures 50 cm long and can be hang of a transparent thread which is attached to the hat. The witch has a complimentary copy of the Trial and History of the Witches of Pendle attached.
