Miniature Ceramic Angelfish Figurine

This item is a small-scale miniature ceramic figurine depicting an angelfish swimming above a stylized blue coral or rock base. The piece is crafted from porcelain or fine earthenware and finished with a multi-colored glaze. The fish itself features a mossy green body with darker green vertical striations representing its scales and anatomical markings. The fins, including the prominent dorsal and tail fins, are textured with fine linear indentations to simulate movement and structure. The glaze exhibits a soft, satin-to-glossy finish that captures light, enhancing the three-dimensional quality of the carving. The base is finished in a darker blue-grey glaze, providing a contrast to the lighter green of the fish. Based on the style and size, this piece appears to be a mid-20th-century decorative miniature, possibly a Wade Whimsie or a similar collectible ceramic from that era. The craftsmanship shows careful attention to detail despite its diminutive size, with no obvious chips or cracks visible in the provided image. The colors are well-preserved, suggesting it has been stored in a protected environment. These miniatures were often sold as standalone collectibles or included as promotional items in packaged goods like tea.
