Hi Carol,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The facial features of this figure look quite feminine to me but the attire is clearly masculine; I wonder if this isn't some literary character.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A vintage Majolica glazed and parcel gilt standing figure
French or Italian, 20th Century
The figure with long curly hair, holding a hat with trailing plume, dressed in breeches and a loose-fitting lawn shirt with bodice, gauntlets and breeches, standing on a naturalistically rendered base. Underside of base impressed "2670" but otherwise marked indistinctly.
6 inches high
CONDITION: This figure appears to be in good condition; value assumes no chips, breaks, repairs or losses.
PROVENANCE: inherited
$ 50-75*
