Description:
Item: Vintage beyond precociously precious :~) handpainted bisque figural (? Germany, ? Japan) piano baby shelf-sitter "kewpie doll" with painted “bushy” Groucho Marx-like eyebrows Coyly and ever-so-sweetly posing in a picture-perfect position, chin-on-hand, the facial expression of this cherubic little doll is not only bewitchingly and delightfully charming, but also contains a great deal of take-me-home appeal! :~)
He has ultra-rosy cheeks, arching/raised/questioning 3-D/3-dimensional raised relief honey-brown painted eyebrows, black painted eyelashes, upward-looking side-glancing eyes, cherry-red puckeringly-pursed lips, and black painted hair accents at the tippy-top of his adorably pointed kewpie head and on the sides above his ears
Age/Period: Vintage - ca 1930s-1960s
Manufacturer/Identification/Markings: Unmarked/Unknown - ? Germany, ? Japan
Material(s): Ceramic bisque
Measurements: Nearly 3 & ˝"H x 2 & ˝"W
Condition: Very good, retaining vivid paint coloration and evincing no noted nicks, chips, cracks, breaks or repairs. There are a couple of tiny places where the white bisque shows through his flesh coloring, and he also exhibits a couple of faintly noticeable surface scratches. A mild "bubble bath" would certainly be to his benefit!
