This is a vintage bisque porcelain figurine of a grandmother sewing at an old-fashioned treadle sewing machine. She sits in a spindle-back chair with a rust-red shawl over her shoulders and small painted spectacles perched on her nose, guiding blue fabric under the needle. The matte bisque finish and fine sculpted details give it a warm, nostalgic character that suits a sewing room, a curio cabinet, or a quilter's shelf.
