Tournay Putto Figurine

This is a soft paste porcelain figurine made by either Tournay / Tournai or Strasbourg Hannong in the 18th century. I am leaning much more towards Tournai though. The piece is of a putto staning 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. The figurine displays OK but has had a bit of a rough time over his 250 or so years of life. His arms and hands have been worked on, the head was off and reattached and there is a break through his upper leg and the top tree trunk and under his front foot - so he was off the base at some point as well. Sounds worse than it looks and it's still a nice and rare example of a great maker from this early period. The figure is 3.625 inches tall, 1.625 inches wide and 1.5 inches deep. Unmarked which is pretty common and makes a perfect ID a bit difficult. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
