Story
In Chinese culture, depictions of happy, healthy children are more than just cute decorations; they are powerful symbols of 'Fu' or good fortune and the promise of a prosperous lineage.
Maker / Origin
While these pieces bear the 'Made in China' export mark rather than a specific artist's seal, they originate from the kilns of Jingdezhen, the world's porcelain capital for over 1,000 years.
Condition & Value
The figurines appear to be in very good vintage condition with the enamel colors remaining bright and saturated. As a complete pair in good condition, these hold more value than single figures.
