Vintage Bisque Porcelain Baby Kewpie Figurine, Japan

Description

Item appears to be a vintage Japan Kewpie. Made of hollowed bisque w/hole on the bottom and JAPAN stamped in red. Thin and potbellied when turned on its side. The only color on the back is the continuation of the pink "diaper." Minimal/minor paint ruboff: 1) forehead curleycue, 2) tip of curl on left side of head, 3) center back of diaper. These 3 spots of ruboff are tiny and do not minimize eye appeal of the piece.

Item was dirty and yellowed when I purchased it. The photo is pre-cleanup. I've gently wiped it clean with a soft towel and a little soap & water. Cleaned up nicely with no wear to the paint.
