Hello Karen

Many thanks for taking the time and trouble to upload a photo of your families figurine. Very dainty in blue with lovely red hair, she is.

I can tell you more about what she is not rather than what she is.

She is not made by one of the famous bone china manufacturers (Royal Doulton, Coalport, Royal Worcester etc), of that I can be sure.

How can I be so sure?

The leading names ALWAYS mark their items very clearly. I also instantly recognise the artwork of the majors - they have a different look & feel to your figurine.

Yours looks like souvenir ware or a trinket piece from a gift shop and is likely earthenware rather than bone china.

However, she is very sweet and I hope you enjoy her for many years to come.

Hope this helps

Peter
