This little piggy looks a lot like an American Bisque piece, but I don't think it is. It is not marked on the bottom. It has the cold painted mustard yellow spots typical of a lot of ABC pieces, but on the ABC pieces I have seen, they mostly have eyelashes on all the eyes this one doesn't. There are no chips, cracks or repairs and no stopper for the bottom. There are some light surface scratches from being jostled around and flaking to the cold painted spots.
