This bisque Kewpie shoulderhead is in great condition and approximately 4 inches (10 cm) tall. I imagine it was a broken Nippon kewpie and someone used the head to make their own shoulderhead. Very cutely displayed ! No maker’s marks.
Condition: MINT VINTAGE CONDITION, no chips / cracks / repairs that I can see. There is a firing line going from the center of the chin to the end of the doll. Slight soiling due to time. Please refer to the pictures.
- ROSE O’NEILL WAS AN ARTIST AND BECAME POPULAR FOR HER KEWPIE CHARACTERS IN THE EARLY 1900’S. IN 1912, A GERMAN PORCELAIN MANUFACTURER STARTED MAKING KEWPIE DOLLS, AND THAT YEAR SHE AND HER SISTER WENT TO GERMANY TO SHOW THE PORCELAIN ARTISTS HOW TO MAKE THE DOLLS THE WAY SHE WANTED THEM. It is when the dream began!
