Morgan's Virginia Riflemen 1776 Porcelain Figurine

This item is a slip-cast glazed porcelain figurine representing a member of Morgan's Virginia Riflemen from the American Revolutionary War. Standing approximately 6 to 8 inches tall, the figure is depicted in a standing post with a long rifle held vertically. The soldier wears a traditional hunting shirt in a light gray or off-white glaze, accented with dark brown or black trim. He wears a tricorn-style hat, dark cross-belts, a brown waist belt with a black pouch, and dark gaiters or shoes. The facial features are delicate, featuring pink rosed cheeks and fine paintwork on the eyes and mouth, typical of mid-20th-century decorative ceramics. The base is rectangular with a white glaze and features black transfer-printed Gothic-style text reading 'Morgan's Virginia Riflemen 1776'. The construction suggests a hollow-body ceramic mass-produced for the commemorative or historical giftware market, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century (often associated with the 1976 Bicentennial era). The condition appears good with high-gloss luster, no visible major cracking or structural damage, though light crazing or base wear might be present under close inspection. The craftsmanship is standard for souvenir-quality porcelain with some minor paint overruns visible on the rifle and straps.
