One-piece all-bisque Kewpie in seated pose, with arms held in front of body clasping interlocking gold wedding rings, modeled topknot and forelock curls, side-glancing eyes, blue wings. Kewpie is seated (detachable) in a wicker egg basket inside a wooden branch stork nest, with stork standing alongside. Kewpie is excellent, stork is dusty. Germany, c. 1915, the vignette was likely created as a baby or wedding shower favor.
