October Angel Football Player Figurine

This is a vintage ceramic figurine depicting an 'October Angel' as a football player. The figurine is crafted from glazed ceramic, likely porcelain or earthenware, and features a light color palette dominated by creams, light blue, and peach tones, with accents of gold and a touch of light yellow. The angel character is portrayed wearing a cream-colored football helmet with a red stripe down the center and a cream-colored chin strap. Below the helmet, the angel has rosy cheeks, light blue eyes with delicate lashes, and light yellow hair peaking out from under the helmet. The figure wears what appears to be a cream football jersey with light blue pants and cream football boots. Light blue wings are visible on the angel's back. The angel is depicted in a dynamic pose, holding a brown football in one arm, suggesting an action pose like running or preparing to throw. The figurine stands on a rectangular base, which is also cream-colored with a gold trim around the top edge. The base is decorated with small, sculpted autumn-themed elements, including what appear to be cornstalks or hay bales with small, light pink flowers and green foliage, reinforcing the 'October' theme. The words "October Angel" are script-painted in black on the front of the base. The overall condition appears good with vibrant colors and intact glazing, though a very minor scuff or chip might be present on the top red stripe of the helmet (difficult to discern definitively from the image). The craftsmanship indicates mass production common in mid-20th-century decorative ceramics. This piece likely dates from the 1950s or 1960s, a period when such whimsical and themed figurines were popular.
