A pair of vintage porcelain figurines: two children in period dress, each carrying a basket, hand painted in soft ochre, rose and blue over a matte bisque body. Sold as a pair. A quiet, characterful piece for a shelf, a mantel or the corner of a dresser.
Figures of children with baskets and flowers were a standing subject of European porcelain workshops through the late 19th and 20th centuries, produced in bisque — unglazed, matte porcelain — so the paint sits into the surface rather than on top of it. This pair carries no legible mark, which is common for workshop pieces sold without a factory backstamp.
