   We found a number of clay  ceramic figurines at Mission San Antonio de Padua (1770-1834) near the kilns as part of a field school excavation on 1982. They were described and illusrated in a  brief article on The Masrterkey, the journal of the old Souhwesrt Museum. Reference below: 
Hoover, Robert L., and Catherine L. Ferguson. Ceramic Effigies from Missaion San Antonio de Padua.,The Masterkey Vol.57, No.1, 28-33.  (January- March, 1983), Southwest Museum, Los Angeles.

We interpreted theseinterpreted these as simple tiny toys as simple tiny toys created by the potter created by the potter for the mission neophyte children. There was no ritual context involved.. These were made of pinched clay and took the form i'll sheep I'll sheep, a cowled padre figure, another figure with socketed arms for movement, at a clay saddleat a clay saddle (no horse). Other figures vaguely resembled sea mammals and birds.. I regret that I cannot find my copy at the present time. If your library does not  carry the series, ry Galahasasee or Gainesville.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Spanish colonial ceramic figurines

We have recovered 147 fragments of small solid ceramic figurines at two of the locations of the West Florida presidio in Pensacola, Florida dating between 1723 and 1763. Large hollow figurines have been recovered at Presidio San Miguel (1757-1763) in Pensacola and Mission San Luis (1676-1704) near Tallahassee. FL. The figurines are preliminarily described with images in Presidios of Spanish West Florida newly published by the University Press of Florida

As far as I know now, these figurines are unique outside of the central basin of Mexico. I have a research assistant scouring the literature west of the Mississippi for other figurines in Spanish colonial context, but so far nothing. 

Does anyone know of any other ceramic figurines in Spanish colonial context outside of central Mexico? If you do, we sure would appreciate it if you would point us in the right direction.
