Description
3" (8 cm.) and 2". Each is bisque shoulderhead depicting Kewpie with classic topknot,side curls,side-glancing eyes (the larger right glancing,the two smaller left-glancing),blue wings,dash brows,and impish smile. Marked "9268" incised on each. Excellent condition. Germany,circa 1920,the heads were sold without bodies,with the notion that hand-made cloth bodies and costumes based on the Kewpie stories would be created in the home. This trio,with the two little imps glancing at the larger model who is looking back at them,offers wonderful possibilities in that direction.
