Vintage Porcelain Shepherdess Flower Girl Figurine

This is a decorative hand-painted porcelain figurine depicting a woman in 18th-century pastoral or Rococo-style attire, often referred to as a shepherdess or flower girl. The figure stands approximately 8 to 10 inches tall and is constructed from glazed ceramic with polychrome enamel decoration. She wears a wide-brimmed grey hat adorned with a red and yellow plume, a dark green fitted bodice with a pink patterned stomacher, and a voluminous white skirt decorated with small pink rose motifs. She holds a circular tray or basket filled with sculptural pink roses. The base is an ornate, rocaille-style plinth with gold-gilt scalloped edges and green-applied foliage. The craftsmanship suggests a mid-20th-century production, likely influenced by Meissen or Dresden styles but possibly of Japanese (Occupied Japan) or Italian origin given the specific glaze finish and facial features. The condition appears fair to good; however, there is visible damage to the foliage on the lower left side and potential chips to the delicate flower petals in the basket, which is common for this type of fragile porcelain. Minor gilt wear is present along the base edges.
