Kewpie doll

A Kewpie doll is a small, collectible figurine characterized by its round face, wide eyes, and distinctive topknot of hair. Originally created as a comic strip character by Rose O'Neill in 1912, these dolls became popular as toys and decorative items. They are often made of celluloid or plastic, dressed in charming costumes, and are noted for their sweet, innocent expression. Kewpie dolls are valued by collectors for their nostalgic appeal and unique design, reflecting early 20th-century Americana and popular culture.
