Watering Can Figurines Appraisal

Girl with Watering Can Figurine

This item is a small, monochromatic figurine depicting a young girl, likely made from cast resin or a similar composite material, given its uniform light greyish-white color and matte finish. The girl wears a detailed, ruffled dress with puffed sleeves, suggesting a traditional or historical style of clothing. Her hair is cut in a clean bob, framing a face with subtle, childlike features. She is depicted holding what appears to be a watering can in her right hand, resting it on her hip. The base of the figurine is integrated, forming a small, stable pedestal from which her feet emerge. The sculpting shows a moderate level of detail, particularly in the drapery of the dress and the ruffles, indicative of a mass-produced item designed for decorative purposes. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear on the surface, maintaining a good condition, though the monochrome nature makes it difficult to discern subtle surface changes or patination. No maker's marks or signatures are immediately apparent from the provided image. The style suggests a possible age range from the mid-to-late 20th century to early 21st century, consistent with decorative resin figurines. The craftsmanship appears competent for its type, offering a charming, if not highly artistic, representation of a child engaged in a simple activity. The overall impression is one of a clean, well-preserved decorative object.
