An utterly charming piece of Edwardian whimsy, this sterling silver Kewpie doll charm dates to circa 1910 and was made in Australia, bearing the distinctive Kangaroo and “S” stamp. Lovingly modelled after Rose O’Neill’s original Kewpie illustrations, this tiny figure captures the doll’s trademark features—a mischievous smile, pointy topknot, and plump little limbs—all rendered in three-dimensional form.

Crafted in sterling silver, this antique charm or pendant is beautifully detailed, from the expressive face to the subtle shaping of the feet and arms. Kewpie dolls were first introduced in the early 20th century and quickly became a global sensation, symbolising innocence, affection, and playful spirit. This Australian-made version is a delightful rarity, perfect for antique charm collectors or lovers of Edwardian novelty jewellery.

Condition: Very good to excellent antique condition with age-appropriate patina and surface wear. Light mark one side on the tummy, which is not noticeable. All details remain crisp and well-defined.

Note: The antique display box is not included. It will be in gift box.
