figurine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'model of diminutive stature' is the definition.
'figurine' can be an answer for 'model' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'of diminutive stature' bit.

'fruit given to wee' is the wordplay.
'fruit' becomes 'fig' (fig is a kind of fruit).
'given to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'wee' becomes 'urine' (I've seen this before).
'fig'+'urine'='FIGURINE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for figurine that I've seen before include "Small statue" , "Small piece of sculpture" , "Fine rug I change for a small carved body" , "Statuette" , "moulded object" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
