This is a doll auction catalog including prices realized.

The elegant European lady whose collection was visited by Belgian royalty and whose other-than-doll life revolved around the society circles of Brussels, Paris and London, said in an early newspaper interview "I never played with dolls as a child." She came to dolls, she explained, through a love of fashion and an enduring fascination with doll costumes and the history of clothing those dolls personified. However, she clarified, the love of the doll itself soon gained equal footing with the love of costume and she began to seek both throughout Europe. This explains the particular vision of Madame Andree Petyt whose extraordinary collection of rare dolls in exquisite costumes will be sold in two important sessions entitled "A Cherished Collection."

It was in the early 1960's that the doll collection of Andree Petyt began. The family members were already noted antique collectors, their curious natures having led them to acquire fine paintings, furniture, porcelains and rare books. The first doll was a casual gift from her husband. But to Andree Petyt this was no simple plaything. It was a study in fashion, it was a porcelain work of art. Her interest aroused, she entered the doll collecting world with zeal, and in a short time her name became known in the doll salons and ateliers throughout Paris and London which were her favorite antique sources. The fifth floor of the Petyt mansion on Avenue Nestor Plissart in an elegant neighborhood of Brussels became her museum, the walls filled with shelves that soon became filled with the finest French and German dolls, and the cupboards filled with drawers and drawers of doll's and children's antique clothing. By 1975 her collection was so notable that she filled an exhibit hall with her choicest pieces, and welcomed the public to view the world of dolls. Among the visitors to this exhibit was the Belgian queen with her children, the young princess and prince. By the end of the century, the collection was among the largest private collections of French dolls existing. At her passing, her family determined to return the cherished collection of Andree Petyt to the loving arms of future collectors.

wonderful - best dog toy on the market!!
Style: Chilly Penguin, Size: Small (Pack of 1), Style: Chilly Penguin, Size: Small (Pack of 1)
my 10.6 lb shih tzu mix loves these. yes, they are durable. this is the third dog on some of them. i fill with diluted baby food mixed with 3 drops honey, carrots in todays, or peanut butter and a tad of jelly mixed with water, or water with unsalted cooked veggies like broccoli or cauliflower stems and carrot bits, or baked and mixed with water sweet potato. she eats just anout any vegetable. the water is to reduce calories as i had to take 3 lbs off her when i got her. and yes, they stack nicely. when i let her out of her crate, she looks and grabs it and puts it on the kitchen floor for a refill. her idea, not my training but i like it. this is an addition to my previous review. as far as i'm concerned, this is the best toy on the market for very small dogs. my dog has been at target weight for 2 years now and i restrict her treat calories to a strict 21 kcals daily. she is also now a working dog. i have now done frozen greek yogurt with apples and blueberry baby food diluted, kibble mixed in water. wet dog food diluted with water etc. i leave her in her crate with one and two cameras on her, one two way audio and she has stopped all barking and dutifully brings the toy and actually deposits it in my hand when i let her out of the crate. every 2-3 days it's like a new toy flavor and no toys have and tooth marks or anything on them. they're used daily. understand this lil 10.6 lb dog goes thru nylon power chews regularly so she's super capable of destroying toys but i think the little bit of food satisfies her with the penguin and 2 1/2 years in, she has no desire to destroy them. i now own 8 of these as 2 stay in her travel bag. we would be heartbroken if the company quit making these penguins. fantastic product. the small would even have worked for my 5 lb papillons had they made them then.

Great durability and utility
Style: Chilly Penguin, Size: Medium/Large (Pack of 2)
I love the size of these and the sturdiness. I freeze bone broth and put it in the crate or give it to dogs when it gets warm out. To help them cool or help them with teething. They have decimated other holders of frozen liquid, but these have lasted well. They also do not get sharp edges when chewed on by English bulldogs.

Its a hit for my 9lb chewer!
Style: Chilly Penguin, Size: Small (Pack of 1)
So far so good! My Pup is a chewer and destroys most of his toys. This has been great to keep him happy and occupied for about an hour. I work from home, so when I know I need to keep him busy this is perfect. Ill keep an eye on it to make sure he doesn't break it, but it is pretty solid and thick. He can get through a puzzle in seconds, so this has been so good for him. Ive done mostly broth and veggies, some kibble. Even yogurt and peanut butter. Right now he gets it twice a day. He spends about an hour with it and then hes so tired hes ready for a nap. Once around mid day and another late evening before bed. Im ordering another to keep for when I have to leave him home alone. He cleans it pretty well, but Ive found soaking in hot water also loosens any bits left behind. Because its small, I'm not worried about extra calories.
