Pair of German Majolica Figural Wine Bottle Vases

This is a decorative pair of figural ceramic spill vases or ornamental bottles, likely of German or Continental European origin, dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. The set features a charming boy and girl in Victorian-era attire leaning against large straw-wrapped wine bottles (fiaschi). The girl is dressed in a pink gown with a white collar and holding a yellow fan, while the boy wears a blue sailor coat with a pink bow and a wide-brimmed purple hat. Each bottle is masterfully textured to mimic basket weaving and adorned with a red wax seal and pink floral clusters at the base. The glaze is a vibrant majolica-style polychrome with a high-gloss finish. The bases are sculpted as green grassy mounds. The craftsmanship displays fine hand-painted details, particularly in the facial expressions and the intricate texture of the wicker. Based on the style, these are characteristic of 'Schafer & Vater' or similar Thuringian porcelain manufacturers. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or significant crazing, though light shelf wear on the unglazed footrims is expected for their age.
