Bisque Porcelain Child with Phonograph Figurine

This item is a decorative bisque porcelain figurine featuring a small child, dressed in a hooded winter suit, standing beside an antique-style gramophone or phonograph. Unlike the traditional 'Snow Baby' line which features crushed glass texture, this piece is characterized by a smooth, unglazed bisque finish with selective textured 'sherpa' or fur-like accents on the child's torso. The child’s face is delicately hand-painted with fine brushstrokes for the eyes and a soft red pigment for the lips. The piece is constructed from cold-cast or molded ceramic and stands on an irregular, snowy-mound base. Its coloring is primarily monochromatic off-white, with subtle brown/tan tones in the facial features and deep shadows in the molding of the gramophone horn. Notable features include a small metallic loop at the top of the child's head, indicating its use as a hanging ornament. The condition appears fair to good; there is visible surface soiling and brownish organic staining particularly near the bottom base, which is common for porous bisque. There are no immediate visible cracks or chips, though the matte finish suggests an age likely from the late 20th century (1980s-1990s), designed in a Victorian-revival style. The craftsmanship shows mass-market production quality with some fine attention to detail in the gramophone's speaker horn and side crank molding.
