Desk Clock Figurine Appraisal

Whimsical Dinosaur with Clock Figurine

This item is a decorative figurine depicting a whimsical, cartoon-style dinosaur. The dinosaur is primarily cream or light yellow in color with various orange polka-dots on its body, and a light blue underside and back spikes. It possesses large, friendly eyes and what appear to be small, pink, frilly ears. The dinosaur stands on a multi-tiered base, suggesting an outdoor or garden scene. The base includes elements such as a green rectangular platform, an orange textured area resembling a blanket or draped fabric with subtle green markings, and what appears to be a section resembling a brick or stone wall in yellow with red square accents. To the right of the dinosaur, there's a pinkish-red barrel-like object, which appears to be a miniature clock, given the visible hands and numbers on its face. The overall construction appears to be of a resin or polyresin material, given the casting detail and painted finish. The colors are muted but distinct, and the surface shows some signs of wear typical of a handled or displayed item, including a few minor scuffs or areas where paint might have slightly chipped, particularly on the edges of the base and the red barrel. Despite this, the craftsmanship indicates a mass-produced item designed for decorative purposes, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures from the provided image, limiting definitive manufacturing details. The item is compact, designed to fit comfortably in an adult's hand, suggesting it's a small tabletop or shelf ornament.
