Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit Figurine

This item is a ceramic or porcelain figurine depicting Peter Rabbit, a well-known character from Beatrix Potter's stories. The figurine is rendered in a naturalistic style with hand-painted details. Peter Rabbit is shown standing upright on what appears to be a small, round green base intended to represent grass. He is wearing his iconic light blue jacket, which shows some painted details indicating wrinkles or folds in the fabric. His fur is depicted in shades of brown and white, with prominent brown markings on his ears, around his eyes, and on his back, contrasting with a lighter white muzzle and chest area. His eyes are small and black, and faint lines suggest whiskers. The overall color palette is soft and pastel, typical of Beatrix Potter merchandise. The figurine appears to be approximately 3-5 inches tall, based on its relative size to the wooden surface it rests upon. There are no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant damage, suggesting it is in good, possibly excellent, preserved condition. The craftsmanship appears to be of a commercial quality, likely mass-produced but with individual hand-finishing for the painting application. Such figurines were widely produced by companies like Royal Doulton (Beswick) and F. Warne & Co. over many decades, making the estimated age range quite broad, from mid-20th century to more contemporary reproductions, pending identification of any maker's marks on the base.
