The figurine could perhaps have been made by Seto Craft Co. Ltd. in Japan.
They are often covered by felt and sometimes marked with two fish in a circle.

The Swedish are never covered with felt.

Thanks Jakjo, looks like you could be right. I do have 2 JIE Gantofta figures with felt bases, maybe they were added at a later date.

I was thinking the clay used to mould this and the glazing looked a lot like a mug I bought that was made in Japan.
