The figurine is also a functional piece, with a hollow, eggshaped vessel behind the boy, likely intended for use as a small vase or planter. The soft, pastel colors, and the subtle gold gilt accents on the boy's clothes and the tree are classic features of German porcelain from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The mark on the base, which includes a partial shield and the number \"8199,\" is a known mark of the ScheibeAlsbach porcelain factory in Thuringia, Germany. This factory was renowned for its finely crafted and decorative pieces. The model number \"8199\" helps to identify this specific design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e Approximately 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) as shown next to the measuring tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetailed Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e\nThis is a beautiful and charming antique porcelain figurine, but it does show some signs of its age and use.
