Accurate Description of Item
Late 19th Century Figure of a Girl with Bird, Mounted on a Wooden Pedestal
Appraiser Remarks
There is another possibility, it could be Parian Porcelain. Parian porcelain resembles white Parian marble, but is much harder than either marble or alabaster. You can test to see if it's Parian porcelain by trying to scratch the bottom , if it scratches easily it's alabaster or marble, only hard metal such as a nail file will scratch Parian porcelain.
