A collector from West Yorkshire in the UK has alerted me to a very interesting observation which prompts the following question;
Has the glass company who produced this figurine drawn inspiration from a fairy tail by the Brothers Grimm called Die Sterntaler
(English translation Star Money.)

And I quote the following from Wikipedia
'The fairy tail follows an orphan girl who has nothing in the world but a loaf of bread, the clothes on her body, and her abiding faith.
'A little girl loses both of her parents and as a result has to live as a beggar, with no more possessions than the clothes she’s wearing and a piece of bread someone gave her. Wandering aimlessly she meets a poor man who asks her to give him something to eat, and the girl gives him the bread. Then she meets a little boy complaining that his head is cold, and the girl gives her cap to the child; another child freezing to whom the girl gives her jacket; another child to whom the girl gives her dress; and finally when she arrives at the woods when it’s already dark another child who asks her to give them her shift. Because it’s dark and the girl thinks no one will see her she takes off her shift and gives it to the child. Completely alone and naked in the middle of the woods the girl sees stars falling from the sky and turning into coins before they land, that she gathers and carries in a new shift that magically appears in that exact moment. With that money the girl doesn’t have to live in the streets anymore'.
