Rosina Wachtmeister Inspired Folk Art Animal Figurines

This set of four decorative figurines is crafted in a whimsical, colorful folk-art style closely associated with the work of artist Rosina Wachtmeister. The collection consists of a rabbit, or potentially a cat with long ears, two identical variants of a toucan in different sizes, and a large stylized cat carrying a green bird. The pieces appear to be constructed from a dense molded resin or cold-cast ceramic, featuring etched textural lines that mimic hand-carved wood grain. The color palette is vibrant and psychadelic, utilizing gradients of orange, pink, purple, and blue. Notable features include the cat's signature flattened face, almond-shaped eyes, and gold-leaf triangle accents. The larger cat possesses a distinctive spiral tail motif. The craftsmanship is high, with intentional 'tooled' textures and matte finishes. In terms of condition, the pieces show light shelf wear; a small white retail or inventory sticker is visible on the base of the rabbit. There are no significant cracks or chips apparent. These contemporary decorative objects likely date from the late 20th to early 21st century, falling under the Goebel or similar boutique manufacturer's aesthetic of 'Art for Living.'
