Raccoon with Blossoms Figurine Music Box

This item is a charming figurine music box featuring a raccoon perched on a tree branch, surrounded by delicate white blossoms and green foliage, all mounted on a fluted, off-white base. The raccoon is depicted with its characteristic masked face, featuring dark grey or black around its eyes, a light snout, and striped fur in shades of light brown and tan along its back. Its fur texture is suggested through sculpted details and painted lines. The tree branch it rests upon is a muted brown with some green accents, indicating moss or leaves. Several white blossoms with tiny pink centers and green leaves adorn the branch, adding a touch of natural beauty. The base of the figurine is a substantial, off-white piece with a distinct fluted or pleated design, resembling a flower in bloom or a ruffled fabric. The figurine appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain, painted with a somewhat glossy finish. The craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced decorative item, likely from the late 20th century, probably intended for household display. While no specific maker's marks are visible in the provided images, the context suggests it functions as a music box, implying an internal musical mechanism. Visible condition issues are minimal from the provided angle, with no obvious chips or cracks, although a small dark speck is visible on the fluted base, which could be a manufacturing imperfection or minor dirt. The overall condition appears good, with colors still vibrant. The style is somewhat naturalistic but with a whimsical, simplified aesthetic, common in decorative collectibles.
