Thanks for your help identifying this colonial gentleman.
I believe his is made of porcelain, and is 10.5" tall.
There is a marking of F87 on the bottom.
Do you know what set he's from, when he was made, or whose likeness he resembles?
Thanks!!
This is a hand painted porcelain figurine created in Japan around the 1930s to 1950s. I don't know if he's meant to resemble anyone. You can see a listing on ebay for an almost identical piece as your own: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-Porcelain-Figurine-Hand-Painted-Occupied-Japan-Colonial-Man-Gentleman-Flower-/191637939430?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c9e82e4e6
