Featured Porcelain bisque girl plaque

I haven't been able to find anything quite like this and could use some help. It's bisque porcelain with handpainted background and "frame"-all one piece with a wire hanger. Unmarked. 9.25" diameter and comes out 3.25" from wall. I was thinking French, German or Italian but was hoping for some more knowledgeable input. Thanks

Very sweet. I know nothing but wouldn't rule out England.

I got nothing. The only things I can come up with are renaissance bronzes, like Ghiberti's self portrait on the Florence baptistry doors:

 

Wonder if it would be considered Parian ware. At least it's real ceramic. There are some similar things out there that look convincingly like marble but that are a man made material by an unknown maker.

Edit: an example of the fake taken for real by an antiques dealer.

It is from a painting in the Met, the Calmady Children.

 

Sorry to get off topic, but so stunned by this, had to share. This is another of these fraudulent 'marble' plaques by the same unknown maker:

I think one of these is your girl painted differently. Unfortunately they don't know who made them either.

Great find, SIS. The one on the right is our girl. Now that I see it painted, I'm leaning toward Germany.

 

I actually found another painted pair with no maker known so no help. I'm wondering if they are less old than people are guessing since there seem to be a few out there. I have no idea or knowledge in the area, hopefully someone will know.

Here's a reconstituted stone piece from a local auction - the 'medal' in the bottom is just in with the mould and painted brown.

 

Thanks so much everyone for the help. I think the ones on worthpoint are a match.
