Porcelain Family Group Appraisal

Pair of Porcelain Rococo Style Figurines (Family Groupings)

This lot consists of two porcelain figurines, each depicting a small family or domestic scene in a Rococo or Georgian Revival style. Both figurines appear to be crafted from glazed ceramic or porcelain, exhibiting hand-painted details. The first figurine on the left shows a woman with blonde hair, wearing a purple and white top with a ruffled collar, and a vibrant chartreuse-green pleated skirt. She is seated, with a young boy, also with blonde hair, resting on her lap. The boy is dressed in a green top and reddish-brown breeches. The woman's expression is gentle, looking down at the child. The second figurine on the right features a man and a young girl. The man is seated in a white chair, wearing a dark tricorn hat, a green coat over a yellow waistcoat, and pink breeches. His posture suggests an interaction with the girl, who is seated beside or on his lap. The girl has blonde hair and is wearing a long, pink dress. Both figurines display attention to period-appropriate costume details. The colors are generally soft pastels, with some brighter accents in the clothing. The condition appears to be good with no obvious major chips or cracks visible from the provided images, although minor surface wear or crazing typical of older porcelain might be present but is not discernible. The bases are flat, indicating they are designed for display on a surface. These figurines evoke a sense of domesticity and leisure, often popular in decorative arts from the 19th to mid-20th centuries. The craftsmanship suggests molded porcelain with hand-finished and painted elements, a common manufacturing technique for such decorative pieces.
