Description
2.5" (6 cm.) Each is one-piece all-bisque Kewpie posed standing with arms outstretched to the sides, and having painted side-glancing eyes and blue wings, each with a sculpted black military helmet with elaborate gilt ornaments and medallions. Excellent condition. Germany, circa 1915, the tiny size Kewpies with parade helmets are quite rare.
