Overview

A charming pair of hand-painted porcelain figurines depicting a boy and girl in traditional festive attire.

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.
