Story
During the 1980s and 90s, a massive trend in home decor sought to bring the elegance of high-end glassmakers like Lalique and Baccarat into the everyday home through the use of high-quality acrylics.
Maker / Origin
While these lack a specific maker's mark, they are highly consistent with the holiday lines produced by companies like Roman Inc., Enesco, or Kurt Adler.
Condition & Value
The figures show some expected wear to the gold-tone paint on the trumpets. There is a visible green residue on the base of one figure, likely from contact with an oxidizing metal or old adhesive during storage. The acrylic itself remains clear and has not suffered from the 'yellowing' that can sometimes affect older plastics.

Market Analysis
Comparable demand stays strongest where maker, originality, and venue confidence line up. Broader examples still trade, but the range tightens quickly when provenance, condition, or selling lane fit is missing.
Value Drivers
- ▲ Strong maker attribution with credible period details
- ▲ Better-than-average condition for the category
- ▲ Broader demand rises when presentation and finish feel intact
Concerns
- ▼ Decorative-only demand limits the ceiling
- ▼ Surface wear or missing provenance can compress the range fast
- ▼ Regional sale lanes often underperform specialist venues
