The image shows an antique German bisque "Snow Baby" figurine. These small, unglazed porcelain figures, often depicting children in snow suits, were first created in the 1890s by Johann Moll and made by companies like Hertwig & Company. The snowy appearance is achieved by rolling the damp models in crushed bisque before firing.
