Margi's Floral Collection 'Magnolia and Violets' Figurine

This item is a decorative figurine made from Classic Bone China, as indicated by the printed text on its base. The base itself is off-white or cream-colored, with a somewhat irregular, organic shape, suggesting it is a foundational element for a larger sculptural piece. It features four circular risers or feet, two of which appear to be original ceramic or bone china molded elements, while the other two have a yellowish, possibly felt or cork-like material adhered to them, likely for surface protection. The underside of the figurine prominently displays several markings in black ink. The main inscription reads 'Margi's Floral Collection' with an ornate 'M' and a floral motif incorporating a shamrock-like design, and a signature 'Margi.' Below this, it states 'Classic Bone China.' Further down, it indicates 'Made Exclusively For Home Interiors & Gifts,' followed by 'Magnolia and Violets' and the year '1996.' There is also a small, red oval sticker with white text, partially obscured, which appears to be a 'Made in China' label, a common indicator of the item's country of origin. The overall style suggests a decorative, mass-produced item from the late 20th century, likely intended for display in a domestic setting. The visible parts of the figurine, though limited to the base, show no significant signs of wear, chips, cracks, or repairs, suggesting it is in good collectible condition. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for decorative bone china figurines of its era, with clear printing and well-formed molded elements.
