Small Glass Figurines Appraisal

Miniature Pigeon or Dove Figurines (Pair)

This image displays a pair of miniature figurines, appearing to be stylized representations of pigeons or doves. Each figurine is small, likely no more than an inch or two in length, and is molded from a light grey or possibly very pale blue-grey solid material, which could be plastic, ceramic, or a resin composite. The forms are somewhat abstract but clearly depict a bird shape with wings folded against the body and a small head and beak. The wings feature horizontal striations, suggesting feather detail, while the body and head are smoother. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from the provided image. The construction appears to be solid, indicating they are likely cast or molded. The surface of the figurines is matte to semi-glossy, without any reflective metallic properties. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear visible, although the image resolution limits a very detailed inspection of any minor abrasions. There is no visible patina, which suggests either a relatively recent manufacture or a material that does not typically develop one. These items are likely decorative accent pieces, possibly intended for a miniature scene, dollhouse, or as small collectible tokens. The simple, clean lines point towards a potentially modern aesthetic, perhaps from the late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship, while not exquisitely detailed, is consistent in forming two similar bird figures.
