The pieces are unmarked on the underside. The unglazed bottom rims retain an original-looking vintage pencil price notation reading "$9.95/pr.", indicating a $9.95 price for the pair.
Condition
Excellent overall vintage condition with one very minor noted imperfection.
Both pieces retain strong gloss and vibrant color. No cracks or repairs were noted, and the delicate raised/spaghetti-style floral details, fingertips, and facial features appear very well preserved.
Please see the close-up photographs of the faces, hands, floral details, and other delicate areas. These photographs are taken at approximately 7X magnification to provide a detailed look at areas that can be difficult to see under normal viewing conditions.
There appears to be a very small possible surface imperfection/pinpoint flea bite on the boy's left wrist. It is extremely minor and difficult to notice under normal viewing conditions. The area is shown in the close-up photographs, where the high magnification makes the imperfection appear considerably more noticeable than it does in person.
As with any vintage ceramic item, minor manufacturing variations and age-related characteristics may be present.
Please review all photographs carefully, as they are an important part of the description and provide the best representation of the item's condition.
Shipping
The figures will be carefully and individually wrapped with protective materials and securely packed in a sturdy box. Special attention will be given to protecting the delicate raised floral details and other fragile areas during shipment.
