About:Chinese Porcelain

What is this?

I have a plain white glazed figurine of a bare-footed girl with flowing hair, dressed in peasant clothing, and raising a three-footed pot above her head to smash down on the fearful figures of a traditionally dressed man and woman beneath her feet. I feel this must be allogorical, but it has no identifying markings. It is 23 cms tall. I would be very grateful for some idea of what it is and when it would have been made. Many thanks.

According to your description, it is hard to tell you whether it has other meanings or not. I advise you to call the experts in some museum such as Shaanxi History Museum and so on for help.
As for the year it made, it is usually caved on the bottom of the figurin, so you may look for it on the bottom.
