Hi Amanda,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
On the small label underneath this porcelain figure, I can't tell if those are initials above the VM - can you take a look and tell me if those are initials and, if so, what they say?
Thanks!
Delia
Thanks for looking! It's the retailer or importer's label, not the maker.

I don’t believe they are initials. The closest I can see it just looks like a small figure of some kind.
