History: An utterly charming mid-20th century porcelain figurine depicting a whimsical elf or pixie joyfully playing the violin. Standing approximately 4.5 inches tall, this cheeky character is dressed in a classic glossy red suit with exaggerated ears and hand-painted facial features that give it a playful, animated quality. The violin is adorned with fine gold detailing, lending a touch of elegance to its otherwise comic stance. While unmarked, the open base and red-over-white underglaze suggest it is a post-war Japanese export, popular among novelty collectors. A delightful piece for collectors of vintage figural ceramics and kitsch décor.
 
Flaws: Ware and tear on the paint
