3" (8 cm.) One-piece all-bisque figure of a woven handled flower basket with colorful flowers clustered on one side from which is delightfully emerging the head and hands of Kewpie,as though the flowers have been a hiding place. The design features a tiny blue flower just where his wing would appear,and wonderful posing of hands as though holding onto the basket for dear life. Germany,circa 1912,designed by Rose O'Neill.
