This is a RARE antique German porcelain bisque figurine by Hertwig & Co. depicting a baby riding on the back of a pig. On the posterior side of the pig is a hollowed out tree stump. I believe it was used for trinkets of some sort. There is a number on the inside of the figure as well as some writing that is no longer legible on the underside of the tree stump.
This type of figurine is often associated with Hertwig & Co.\'s production of bisque animal figures and dollhouse dolls, dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century.
Manufacturer:
Hertwig & Co., a German porcelain factory established in Katzhütte in 1864.
Material:
The figurine is made of porcelain bisque, a type of unglazed porcelain with a matte finish.
