This cute little guy is a mystery. I think he's bisque. He only stands about 3 1/4" tall. He is sitting on (I assume) a lily pad, outfitted in a sailor's suit (complete with bell bottoms), smoking a pipe, and seems pretty relaxed for a guy who seems to be putting on a a life preserver. Questions: Planter, or pin cushion holder? Frog, or toad? Just the creator's whimsy, or is he a character from a children's story? Date? Maker? (Made in Japan, with a partially indistinct mark I haven't been able to identify): TIA!
