Antique Pair Figurines Boy & Girl w/ Baskets of Flowers Lanterns Birdcages Hand Painted blue toile horses marked on bottom Tonquin RoyalThis bisque pair of boy and girl figurines is beautifully painted and detailed in pastel colors. Each figure is shown bare footed and both are carrying gathering baskets full of freshly picked flowers. In the other hand they are both carrying lanters or birdcages. The detail of each is fantastic! These would be lovely on wall shelves flanking a mirror or painting or stacked on books. Condition: I found no chips or cracks, condition is wonderful
