Antique 18thC Porcelain Tournai Tournay Putto Figurine Figure Porcelaine Belgian
I am leaning much more towards Tournai though. The piece is of a putto standing on a flat base with a hollow tree trunk as his support. Nicely modeled and left in the white which was more valued than painted pieces back then.
