Porcelain "Caroler" Figurine

This item is a porcelain figurine depicting a young girl dressed in winter attire, presumably a caroler, holding what appears to be a songbook or sheet music. The figurine is primarily crafted from glazed porcelain, exhibiting a smooth and glossy finish. The girl has blonde hair peeking out from a light pink bonnet with white ruffle-like details around the edges. Her facial features include large, expressive eyes with long lashes, delicate eyebrows, a small nose, and a tiny mouth, all painted with a rosy hue on her cheeks. She is wearing a reddish-brown coat with a white fur trim around the collar, cuffs, and hem, and light blue pants or leggings, tucked into reddish-orange boots. The base of the figurine is an oval shape, painted light green to simulate grass or snow-covered ground, suggesting an outdoor winter scene. The overall color palette is pastel, typical of collectible figurines from the mid-20th century. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant damage, and the glaze appears intact, indicating good preservation. The craftsmanship suggests mass production, yet with careful hand-painted details. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible in the provided images, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact manufacturer or origin, but stylistically it aligns with common collectible ceramic figures produced from the 1950s to the 1980s. The 'songbook' she holds is a simple white rectangular block with painted black lines, reinforcing the caroling theme. The figurine likely stands around 6-8 inches tall, given its appearance next to other household items.
