unusual find?

[Moe (fl)]

Found this odd looking figurine at the beach the other day. It was after the storms.

I put a dime for size reference.

Any ideas? I am thinking it looks oriental!

Thanks.

Pokemon has evolved. Put it back. We're talking the end of the world here.

Looks a bit like De Lee art pottery. There are several different potteries that had the same look.

I've had several nightmares like this.

Good eyes, Labrat. The game's afoot. 'De Lee art pottery'? Tell some more.

P.S. Labrat, welcome to T'Net!

It looks old to me but not sure!

A satyr?

Here's the undivided planter to show what it looked like whole. The person who had this one isn't quite sure what it depicts, either. They're calling it a pan. Nor do they know who made it, but there is an "R" mark on the bottom of theirs. There are a lot of planters of this theme of elf and stump. In most, it's more clearly an elf and less demented looking.

I think one mans trash got it.

One mans trash,

Thank you for the id. It looks very interesting!

Thanks to all other replies!

HH!

Found some more information. This pixie elf is made in Japan. It is vintage.
Here is a link to a similar planter photo found on Ebay.
