This antique Kewpie doll dates back to 1913 and is in excellent condition. The doll is made of bisque and is extremely clean for its age. The bisque and paint are perfect. The doll is approximately 6 inches tall.
The face paint is intact and the colors are vibrant. The doll has huge side glancing eyes with painted on eyelashes and tiny little eyebrows. The cheeks ...are a nice rosy color. It has molded and painted tufts of blonde hair. There are little molded wings at the back of the neck which are painted blue.
The doll's arms move, but the legs are straight and molded together to easily stand. The arms are tight and can easily hold a pose. The star shaped hands are intact. The top of the left arm appears to have a minor knick in it, although it may have always been that way, since there is no change in the color of the bisque. (See photo) There are some very slight marks on the insides of the hands, but not really noticeable. (See photos)
Rose O'Neill's last name is incised on the bottom of the feet.
This antique doll is really in beautiful condition.
