Googly eyed doll
A googly eyed doll or googly is a doll of a type popular in the early 20th century. The dolls featured large, bulging eyes, often looking off to one side.[1] Their heads were made of bisque, with bodies made from cloth, papier-mâché, bisque, or a combination of materials.[2]
Researchers have suggested that the term googly eyed originated from the German Guck Augen meaning "
ogling eyes".[3]
