    Hello,

    I'd like to identify this little porcelain figurine,
    dated 1877 ...

    I can not understand the brand because it is rather faded.

    Thank you all :)

    height 8 cm
    weight g 54

    I wonder about his right hand.
    looks like a Gebrüder Heubach piano baby.
    that mark could be an altered Wallendorf.
    I'm a bit suspicious if it isn't an Asian knock-off.

    Holding a lollipop?
    The boy is wearing a Volendam Dutch costume, a very popular image all over the world.

    I can’t really say for sure, this looks close. Maybe do a comparison.
