Few dolls have made an impact on American Life to rival that of the famous Kewpie doll. Created in 1909 by Rose O'Neill, Kewpie first appeared as magazine illustrations and in advertisements. Its greatest impact was achieved with the introduction of the porcelain bisque dolls and figurines, which were first sold in 1913. Kewpie has been continuously produced ever since and remains enduringly popular! 2011 marks the 102nd Anniversary of Kewpie dolls!

Rose O'Neill was a remarkable turn-of-the century illustrator and artist, as well as a great philanthropist, poet and novelist. Her Cameo Kewpies could be found battling injustice, promoting women's suffrage and other noble causes.
