Miniature Vintage Chinaman Bottle, Head with Cork, unknown use

Description

Miniature Chinaman Figurine Bottle, porcelain, 2 9/16 inches high. No markings. A cork is fitted into his removable head. He wears a jaunty hat and a Western-cut coat with his hands thrust into the pockets. My mother bought the figurine in London in the late 70s for the miniatures collection I displayed in the cubbies of an antique print tray. Perhaps he held perfume. On the base, you see the remnants of blue sticky tack that secured him inside the print drawer.
