A Blitzkrieg of Brass Key Dolls, 2001-2007

It started slowly. In 2001, Brass Key released their first "Disney Princess Collection". These were 14" handsomely crafted porcelain dolls with an affordable list price. The set included Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella and Belle. The next year a 16" "Signature Collection" was introduced. Sales must have been good for BK because in 2003, they added more princesses and unleashed an explosion of dolls into marketplace.

Brass Key stopped updating their website after 2007, but porcelain collections with the BK logo continued to be produced up through 2009. Dare we say even to the point of possible doll overload? Some lines were limited editions, others exclusives to specific store chains. All were still fairly affordably priced for the collector who had to have the latest model. I personally felt appeased after the first three.

The following is an email response I received from BK in regards to an inquiry on possible future porcelain Snow White dolls:

Unfortunately, The Brass Key is no longer producing Disney Porcelain dolls. 2009 was the last year we produced anything Disney oriented and we have not renewed our license with Disney. We extend our apologies and thank you for your loyal support and interest in Brass Key Dolls!
