porcelain, enamel paints, gilding;
salt cellar dish after conservation, chipped edge of tailcoat half, edge of handkerchief, repaired (?) shoe tip;
height 27 cm (female) and 26.5 cm (male);
Both figures signed: on the underside with cobalt crossed swords with a dot at the handles (signatures pale).
Imitation of the Royal Porcelain Manufactory of Meissen, early 20th century.
Figures of a woman and a man on irregular bases with rocaillas, standing by a deep hemispherical basket-like vessel with a high wall. A lady with a folded fan (?) in her hand, a handkerchief tied loosely over her upswept hair and a top dress tied with ribbons at the back, supported lightly on the semicircular top of the vessel. A man with a bouquet in his hand, wearing a harcap wig, a hat with a raised brim, a tailcoat and knee-length pants, rests his leg against the rim of a spice container.
Technological flaws, casting quality, color painting (done outside the factory?) and not the best state of preservation do not allow to unequivocally confirm the Meissen attribution.
