Figurine Identification Appraisal

Underside of a Ceramic or Porcelain Figurine with Triangular Mark

The item is a ceramic or porcelain figurine, viewed from its underside. The base is unglazed, revealing the natural off-white/cream color of the ceramic material, which appears to be porcelain or fine earthenware. It is asymmetrical, with an organic, undulating edge that suggests the top portion of the figurine likely depicts a flowing form or landscape element. The central underside features a deeply recessed, circular cavity with a reddish-brown triangular mark prominently displayed within it. This mark appears to be a manufacturer's or artisan's stamp, though no specific letters or symbols are clearly discernible beyond its geometric shape. Near the edge of the recessed circle, there is a small, dark speck or pinprick mark. The exterior, visible upper portion of the item, which is glimpsed around the base, is glazed in a muted, earthy olive-green or camoflague-like color, suggesting a naturalistic palette. The texture of this glazed area appears somewhat uneven and 'blobby' or layered, indicating a hand-applied or rustic finish rather than a perfectly smooth surface. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or repairs visible on the underside, and the piece appears to be in relatively good condition, exhibiting only minor surface dirt or residue consistent with age and handling. The overall quality of craftsmanship, inferred from the molded shape and applied glazes, seems good, characteristic of decorative ceramic art from the mid-20th century or later.
