    It most likely a modern piece made by a hobbyist with molds.

    I would call her a Fairy rather than a Pixie.

    I've not seen a fairy yet.

    Is Tink a pixie or a fairy?

    Another vote for fairy. The original book called Tinker Bell a fairy/faerie. The 1950s movie called her a pixie. To me this doesn't look like Disney's Tinker Bell. I think Pixies seem to be mischievous while fairies more do-gooders.

    This almost looks like one of those molds where you paint the unfinished form. I know someone mentioned molds, that is what I'm thinking, too. Some companies sell things like this ready to go --all you do is paint.

    Photos can be misleading --if it was a craft mold it would be kind of a heavier plaster feel. If it is a fine bisque, might be something different all together.

    (And one more vote for "fairy"!)

    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author/creator of Sherlock Holmes, believed in fairies.
    Really.
