Name: 1912 Bisque Kewpie Mandolin Player W/ Books Place Card Holder RARE
Price: 275.00 USD
Availability: InStock

This is an adorable and RARE Antique bisque Kewpie place card holder, circa around 1912, made in Germany (catalog #4865.) It features an action kewpie playing a mandolin on its lap, and a few books behind it, where you would place a place holder card for a table setting. This kewp stands just 2” tall.

This adorable piece is in very good antique condition and an incredible piece to add to a Kewpie or O’Neill collection!

Please note: Because of the age and fragility of the pieces, we leave them in as-found condition and do not clean them beyond a light wiping
