Collecting Rose O'Neill's KewpiesCelebrated artist and writer Rose O'Neill created the Kewpie in 1909, fashioning a roly poly elf with a fat child's body, small wings, and a turnip top head. Beloved by children and adults alike since then, the charming Kewpie image quickly spread to dolls, tableware, lamps, candlesticks, inkwells, clocks, jewelry and trinket boxes, hatpins, salt and pepper shakers, picture frames, and many other items all highly collectible today.
