Set of Three Chinese Polychrome Porcelain Figures on Wall Corbels

This set consists of three finely detailed Chinese porcelain figurines, each depicting a female figure in traditional Qing Dynasty-style attire (Manchu/Han robes). The figurines are mounted on individual black trapezoidal wooden wall brackets or corbels. The first figure is a standing lady in a celadon and pink robe leaning against a stylized green bamboo trunk. The second, positioned to the right, is a standing figure in a deep blue and pink robe holding a rectangular banner or scroll. The third figure is seated, wearing a vibrant pink robe and green patterned trousers, holding an object in a graceful pose. Each figure exhibits intricate polychrome hand-painted enamels including floral motifs and border detailing in the 'Famille Rose' palette. The faces show refined craftsmanship with delicate facial features and neatly styled black hair. While specific maker's marks are not visible in the photo, the style suggests mid-20th-century production, likely Republic period or shortly after (c. 1950s-1970s). The figures appear to be in good condition with vibrant colors and no visible cracks or significant repairs, though fine age-related crazing in the glaze and minor gilt wear on high-contrast areas are common for pieces of this type. The craftsmanship indicates a high level of decorative art quality, with expressive movements and balanced proportions.
