This unusual milk glass Christmas ornament started out as a figural Christmas light bulb. After it stopped working, someone clipped off the metal threads, removed the filament and added a metal ornament cap. The bulb is a Kewpie type child in pajamas or snowsuit, either a baby or a doll. I can't find this exact bulb in my books but a very similar one is called Wavy Haired Kewpie. The baby has very long eyelashes, a pale pink face, and is wearing red and yellow. The paint is excellent with little wear. About 3" long including the metal cap.
