Pair of Porcelain Figurines: Victorian Ladies

This lot features a pair of porcelain figurines, each depicting a Victorian-era lady in elaborate dress. The figure on the left is dressed in an off-white gown, detailed with light blue ruffles around the neckline and a matching light blue bodice. Her sleeves are puffed and full, and the skirt of her dress is adorned with delicate pink floral motifs. She holds a white handbag or fan in her left hand and wears a simple pearl-like necklace. Her hair is styled in an upswept bun. The figure on the right is depicted in a light blue dress with puffed sleeves and a layered skirt that transitions from light blue nearer the waist to soft pink with ruffled trim at the base. She wears a thin golden necklace and holds a straw-colored bonnet with a blue ribbon in one hand. Her hair is styled in a similar upswept fashion with loose curls framing her face. Both figurines exhibit delicate hand-painted facial features and fine details in their attire, suggesting good quality craftsmanship. They appear to be made of glazed porcelain or bisque, given their smooth finish and soft color palette. No discernible maker's marks or signatures are visible from the provided images, which limits the ability to identify the precise manufacturer or age definitively, though their style is indicative of mid-to-late 20th-century decorative porcelain. The condition appears good, with no obvious chips, cracks, or repairs, though a detailed inspection would be required to confirm. The bases are flat and unadorned, suggesting they are designed for tabletop display. Their estimated age based on style would be mid-to-late 20th century. The unique aspects include their complementary poses and similar thematic dressing.
