Shiwan Ware Pottery Figurine

My grandparents aquired this piece during a "People to People" tour of the Orient in the early 1970's.
I believe it to be from the earliest Qing period??

It has no markings and is not signed because it was brought back by them personaly.

There is a set of numbers and letters on back that I believe represent the private collection or library that it came from.

They participated in several events and dinners with various political and elite family's and dignitaries at many of their stops through the Orient.

I can not yet afford some of the expensive books that I have seen that may hold the answers to the piece.

I hope someone within the forum may be able to pinpoint the sculptor or kiln that it came from.

I believe it may be from a kiln just outside of Canton in South of China?

Sometime between 1644 and 1722?? Earlier??

I thought someone here would recognize this figurine. Should I be so lucky as to get information on the sculptor, and value?

Thankyou for taking the time to look at it.
