Charming antique bisque porcelain figurine depicting a cherubic child holding a large strawberry. The figure features delicate hand-painted facial details, soft pastel coloring, and the textured surface typical of early German bisque work. The strawberry doubles as a small bowl or planter-like opening, making this piece both decorative and functional.
