This appears to be a vintage blue and white porcelain figurine depicting a traditional Asian figure carrying a shoulder load. 

Key Features

• Material: White glazed porcelain with blue underglaze hand-painted details and light gold trim.

• Design: A character wearing a wide-brimmed straw-style hat, carrying a shoulder pole with hanging bundles, mounted on a textured base.

• Size: Measures roughly 9 inches (about 23 cm) tall based on the ruler in the photo.

• Style: Similar to mid-20th-century decorative export porcelain from makers like Seizan in Japan or traditional Chinese studios

• Origin & Production: World Bazaar specialized in mass-market, budget-friendly global imports. This confirms the piece is a modern decorative export item (likely produced between the 1970s and 1990s in Taiwan, Japan, or China) rather than a rare antique.

• Original Retail Cost: The tag shows it originally sold for $14.99.

• Current Market Value: Accounting for inflation and its collectible status as vintage home decor, the market value remains steady right around its original neighborhood at $15 to $25.
