Lamb Figurine Appraisal

Porcelain Figurine of Children with Lambs

This is a porcelain figurine depicting two young children, likely girls, interacting with lambs. The primary female figure is standing and wears a pale blue dress with white polka dots, a white apron adorned with blue ruffles, and a large, pale cream bonnet that covers most of her hair. She is holding a white lamb in her arms. The second child is kneeling, wearing what appears to be a pink long-sleeved shirt, brown trousers, and a similar pale cream bonnet. She is reaching out towards a second white lamb that is standing next to her. Both children have simple, round faces with small facial features. The lambs are depicted with textured 'wool' details. The figurine is mounted on a circular base colored to resemble green grass, with a white rim. The overall construction appears to be high-quality porcelain or ceramic, with a smooth, glazed finish. The colors are muted pastels, suggesting a gentle and innocent theme. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or repairs visible, though some minor surface dirt or wear might be present on the bonnets, consistent with age or handling. The style is common for collectible figurines from the mid to late 20th century, often associated with brands like Hummel or similar sentimental character pieces. The craftsmanship indicates attention to detail in the sculpting of the figures and animals, particularly the folds in the clothing and the texture of the lambs' wool. No maker's marks are discernible from the image.
