Bliss Toys, celebrated for its vintage charm and nostalgic craftsmanship. Specializing in enchanting wooden dollhouses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, each comes adorned with intricate miniature furniture and accessories. These painted lithographic dollhouses are cherished by collectors worldwide, evoking tales of a bygone era and capturing the innocent imagination of childhood.

Bliss became a beacon of enchantment in the toy galaxy since its inception in 1868. Pawtucket, Rhode Island, saw the rise of this intriguing brand, founded and flourished under the visionary, R. Bliss. From a local startup, it grew to become an iconic American toy brand. Dishing out artistic creativity, the Bliss toys stood out for their lithographed paper on wood construction - a technique that was innovative for that period, and helped bring their products to life with vibrant colors and patterns. An exciting fact about the brand - among the quaint dollhouse designs was the Uncle Sam’s Bank, a patriotic showpiece that aimed at inspiring the young minds of America. Although Bliss ceased to function by 1935, the legacy it left behind continues to inspire vintage toy collectors today.
