Bisque Porcelain or Plaster Figurine of a Boy in Period Attire

This item is a decorative bisque porcelain or plaster figurine depicting a young boy, likely a fictional character or a generic representation of a historical figure, possibly a 'Colonial Boy' or 'Page Boy' type. The figure stands approximately 10-12 inches tall, judging by its proportion to the visible shelf. It is entirely white, suggesting it might be unglazed bisque or painted plaster. The boy is depicted wearing a tricorne hat, a ruffled shirt or cravat, a formal jacket with lapels, and breeches with boots. His right arm is bent, and his hand appears to be holding a small, indistinct object. The jacket features faint gold outlines along the lapels and cuffs, indicating some form of hand-painting or application of gold gilt, which shows signs of wear, flaking, or rubbing off in several areas. The construction suggests it was cast from a mold, with some detail in the facial features and clothing folds. The surface appears matte rather than glossy, typical of bisque. There are no visible chips or cracks from the provided images, but the overall white surface shows some subtle discoloration or dirt accumulation, consistent with age and display. The base is an integral part of the molding, depicting some rock-like or naturalistic texture, providing stability for the tall, slender figure. The overall style suggests a period from the early to mid-20th century, possibly as a mass-produced decorative item rather than a fine art sculpture. Its craftsmanship is good, with clear details and a relatively smooth finish, though the hand-applied gold accents are somewhat simple.
