Porcelain Figurine of a Boy with a Bucket

This item is a small, hand-painted porcelain figurine depicting a young boy. The figurine is crafted from glazed white porcelain, with details painted in various colors. The boy has reddish-brown hair, rosy cheeks, and small black eyes, with a slightly parted red mouth giving him a curious or playful expression. He is dressed in a light blue short-sleeved shirt and light green overalls, which appear textured or pleated around the legs, possibly molded to suggest fabric folds. His shoes are painted black. He holds a yellow bucket or pail in his left hand, which rests against his leg, while his right hand is placed on his hip, emphasizing his casual pose. The overall construction suggests it is a molded piece, with delicate hand-painted features. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant damage, suggesting it is in good to excellent vintage condition. The glaze appears consistent, lending a slightly glossy finish to the piece. No specific maker's marks or signatures are discernible from the provided images, but the style is characteristic of mid-20th century decorative porcelain, often originating from Japan or Germany. The scale implies it was likely intended as a collectible or decorative accent, perhaps part of a larger set or display. The craftsmanship is decent, with clear attention to facial details and clothing color separation.
