Rabbits were always beloved by Barbara and in no time at all the Jolly Rabbit became one of the most popular of all the animals. This model, the first Barbara created, features a velvet body with bisque paws and fantastic paperweight eyes. There are no two Jolly Rabbits alike, as all the work on the caps was done by hand. Note the detail in the lace bonnet duplicated to match the lace on the cotton apron.
Signed and dated 1983-#12.
Measures: 15” tall.

“As for the cat, he became at once a great lord, and had nevermore any need to run after mice, except for his own diversion.” Ah, the master Jolly Cat….this charming character has oodles of personality and it is actually very rare since most of Barbara’s cats were almost always gray tabbies!
Measures:13 ¾’ tall .

Antique Teddy Bears were all the rage during the time Jollies were being made and Barbara’s tribute to the craze, Jolly Teddy, is very handsome indeed. Actually, few were made as Teddy was not the most enjoyable for her, and husband Jim, who sewed the jointed plush bodies, didn’t find the brown fur fun to work with. As a result, Teddy is quite a rare member of the Jolly family.
Note the happy smile and “humped” back.
Measures: 15 ½” tall.

The Jolly Kitty was Barbara’s top seller. Almost always a gray Tabby with beautiful pink ear decoration, the Kitty came in a variety of sizes, this one measures 11” tall. The jointed bodies were of gray plush and made by husband Jim. Barbara was always on the lookout for great antique glass animal eyes, which indeed helped give her art its soul.
