 Katie and her Kewpie

     Kewpie has almost become an American tradition. Since the very first Kewpie made its way in 1909 from the whimsical imagination of his creator, Rose O'Neill, to the pages of the leading periodicals of the day; Kewpie has delighted children of all ages. Rose O'Neill believed her Kewpie to be a kind of baby Cupid, but with a difference. "Cupid gets himself into trouble. The Kewpies get themselves out, always searching out ways to make the world better and funnier," Rose said.

      Wendy Lawton has been a Kewpie collector for years. "Kewpie just seems to charm his way into your heart," Wendy warns. "Once you allow one of these tiny pixies into your collection, you soon find yourself unable to pass up any chance to add to your burgeoning Kewpieville."

     How fitting that Kewpie should take his place in Lawton's Classic Playthings Collection, a collection of famous dolls from our past, along with the little child who owned them. The first doll in this series, Patricia and Her Patsy®, celebrated the classic Patsy doll of the 1930's. The tiny composition Patsy doll was made by The Lawton Doll Company, under license from The Effanbee Doll Company, to go into the arms of the porcelain Patricia, an original sculpt by Wendy Lawton. Katie and Her Kewpie is also being made under a license from RoseArt with permission from Jesco. Katie is 14" tall, an all-porcelain original sculpt by Wendy Lawton. Katie wears a hand-smocked frock of white cotton. Her brown curls are caught up in a red organdy ribbon. She has sparkling brown eyes and a sprinkling of freckles across her nose. Kewpie is a faithful version of the earliest Kewpies, which were made under the watchful eye of their creator, Rose O'Neill.
