This is - I believe - from a larger set of
figures (I think I saw a couple of similar ones on evilBay recently), not sure
on a maker (possibly after a ceramic model by Goebel or from the Spanish company Palés) and there are no markings on the polystyrene model, which is
decorated by airbrush through stencils, maybe originating in Japan?
I photographed all of today's
figurines/novelties on Adrian's table ages ago, and wasn't really thinking
about size at the time, I think this was a little bigger than the others at
about 3½ or 4-inches to the 3-inches of the others, but you may be able to
add an inch to all those measurements?
Again, definitely showing the lack of
markings on this figure, I'm not suggesting anyone as maker beyond the above
vague possibilities, the quality of the face is quite European doll-like in execution, the painting
reminiscent of French composition/chalkware, although the gluing of the body to
the legs/stand (too substantial to call it a mere base - I feel!) is quite like
some of Hong Kong's production, so your guess is as good as mine, or your
knowledge - superior!
Added 05-04-18 - It's a watch-stand, seemingly issued under both the US Time and Ingersoll labels - thanks to Matt for the heads-up and there's a link with his comment, Matt has the Alice in Wonderland Blog.

This is a figure from a watch by US Time (later known as Timex), first issued in 1958.

Cheers Matt! And Ingersoll looking at the linked stuff? 'Watch-stands'!
