Extremely Rare German Bisque Exhibition Piece Known as "Kewpie Mountain"

Lot #17

12" (30 cm.) h. x 11 1/2" w. A bisque foundation is sculpted and painted to depict a grass and vine-covered hillside with tree trunk and branches, upon which are playfully arranged a frolicking party of multiple Kewpies, permanently fired onto the foundation during the original factory production, and which include rarities such as Kewpie drummer, Kewpie with cornucopia of roses tumbling playfully onto the head of another Kewpie, Huggers variation with top hat, another pair with Civil War helmet, and Kewpie on a swing. A one-piece trio of seated Kewpies oversees the entire scene, others read books or play musical instruments, and one joyful couple stand face-to-face, arms clasped to each other as they gaze lovingly into each other's eyes. Doodledog stands guard, little Blunderboo Kewpies crawl along or climb trees to add joviality to the scene, as well as many others. Condition: generally excellent, rifle tip is missing, right hand missing on Kewpie on swing. Comments: Germany, circa 1915, from original designs by Rose O'Neill. The exhibition piece was cited in the 1983 research book, Kewpies and Other Works by Lois Holman who wrote "to my knowledge there were only two of these figurine statuary-type pieces in existence"; further research suggests there may have been six or seven. The exhibition pieces were created, under special commission in the German porcelain firm, and were designed as promotional centerpieces by luxury shops. This present example, previously undocumented by Kewpie scholars, has been in the hands of a private family from San Antonio, Texas for nearly a century. Points: extremely rare and important exhibition work, a highlight of the signature work of the noted American artist, Rose O'Neill.
