Small porcelain figurine or decorative animal/flower ornament
Estimated Value
$10-$40
This appears to be a small glossy white porcelain decorative object with a sculptural, rounded form and an applied small purple flower-like accent near the top. The piece has a smooth glazed finish and two circular beige pads or foot areas visible on the underside, suggesting it may be a figurine, paperweight, or small decorative table ornament rather than a functional vessel. The exact subject is unclear due to the blur, but the styling suggests a mass-produced decorative ceramic item rather than a high-end antique.
