About Kewpie Dolls:
Kewpie is a brand of dolls and figurines that were conceived as comic strip characters by cartoonist Rose O'Neill. The illustrated cartoons, appearing as baby cupid characters, began to gain popularity after the publication of O'Neill's comic strips in 1909. The characters were first produced as bisque dolls in Waltershausen, Germany, beginning in 1912, and became extremely popular in the early 20th century. The Kewpie dolls were initially made out of bisque exclusively, but composition versions were later introduced in the 1920s, and celluloid versions were manufactured in the following decades. These earlier "bisque" and composition versions of Kewpie dolls are widely sought-after by antique and doll collectors. Their popularity never ceases to amaze us. They are enjoyed internationally and serve as wonderful and unique momentoes of old Japan.
