Since it has bumpy skin I'm thinkin' dragon or dragon-lion chimera type creature...?
    Porcelain. 3.25 inches tall.

    My guy is missing the raised under plate/base.

    Do you think this is 1920s-30s era?

    When I first saw it I thought it was a Louis Wain cat for a few split seconds, LOL!

    That's lovely. It's a shame the underplate is missing. That piece might have been marked. In my opinion you are correct that it is 1920's - 1930's. And I would suspect Japanese lustreware.
